After a lifetime of guarding her privacy, Chelsea Clinton made her debut as a reporter on national television Monday with a feature about a non-profit organization dedicated to poor children in Arkansas. Clinton, 31, appeared poised as she reported the feel-good segment on Annette Dove, a volunteer who takes troubled youngsters in the poverty-struck city of Pine Bluff under her wing. “Hi Chelsea, we’re so glad to have you!” Dove exclaims on camera in the pre-recorded report, which aired on NBC’s ‘Rock Center with Brian Williams’ show. At one point, Clinton and Dove discuss hearing gunshots in the rundown neighbourhood. After, Clinton appears in the NBC studio and tells the presenter: “I’m really grateful to be here with you.” Saying that she “did deliberately lead a private life” until now, she explains she was “cajoled” by her recently deceased grandmother to become more public and said “I hope I will make her proud.”
