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 TV and radio programs. When Armstrong’s not working, she jogs, studies martial arts and spends way too time watching the E! channel. She appears every other Tuesday in the "Around the Watercooler" segment on NBC10's "The 10! Show."
