Howie Severino catches up with his colleague Mav while she’s traveling solo, by accident, in Europe. In a wide-ranging convo, Mav shares what it’s like to be a young woman reporting on male athletes, a rising journalist who has finally attained her dream of producing documentaries, and a millennial constantly badgered about being single.
She talks about her first taste of TV journalism as an eight-year-old host of Chikiting Patrol, her proudest moment as a reporter, and how she’s dealt with stalkers.
“Considering all the sacrifices a journalist makes — the dangers, the trolls, the effect on your social life, the missing out on so many family events because of assignments,” Howie asks near the end of their conversation, “is journalism worth it?” Mav gives an honest, moving answer.
