Journalist and MSNBC anchor Katy Tur talks about her book "Rough Draft" with Salon's Dean Obeidallah. The book includes stories about her childhood, her relationship with her dad Zoey and her reflections on journalism. Tur also talks about her unique connection with Donald Trump, as the first network reporter to cover his campaign. "I think he saw me being there as a validation that he was being taken seriously," Tur said. "I was there from the beginning with him. I became the most familiar face." Watch the full interview to hear from Tur on covering tragedy and why certain stories make it on TV and others don't. Photo by: Art Streiber/MSNBC
