My Take
Andrew Marr fascinates me as a journalist who mastered two very different mediums. From political commentary at The Scotsman to editing The Independent, then serving as the BBC's political editor and finally fronting major broadcasts, he made the rare jump from the page to the screen without losing rigor. I respect that range, the analytical sharpness of a print journalist married to the warmth a presenter needs. There is something quintessentially Glaswegian in his blend of intelligence and approachability. To me, Marr embodies the public-service journalist, someone who can explain power clearly while still making you feel welcome at the table.
