Dethroned "Queen Of Buzz" Stages Comeback

Sunday Morning: After A Taste Of Failure, Magazine Editor Tina Brown Launches A New Web Site

(CBS) 

Although she is British, Brown and her husband of 27 years, Sir Harold Evans, raised their son and daughter in New York. And next month, this recently sworn in American citizen will vote in a Presidential election for the very first time.

"When 9/11 happened and the twin towers came down, I suddenly realized I had such an emotional connection to America that I felt so passionately protective of New York and so deeply offended by the betrayal actually, I really felt I'd become an American," Brown said. "And I realized I didn't really have the same interests in the English system or what happened to it."

"And soon this newly-minted American will find out whether she can still create a buzz."

"Do you worry in some ways whether this succeeds or fails will be a little bit of a referendum on Tina Brown?" Moriarty asked.

"You know, I am really past caring about that," Brown says. "I have to say, you know, I did something that didn't work, a talk magazine, and what's to lose? I mean, at the end of the day, you're at the game table or you're not."
