Jenice Armstrong puts her saucy spin on national and local topics du jour three days a week - Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. A pop culture critic, she also writes about local and national news as well as social trends. It was while researching a column on Internet dating that she met the man she wound up marrying. Armstrong, who worked at The Associated Press and the Washington Post before joining the Daily News as a business reporter, appears frequently on area T.V. and radio programs. When Armstrong’s not working, she jogs, studies martial arts and spends way too time watching the E! channel.
