Schlossberg is "inspired by the legacy of my family in public service," according to Vogue. "I take that very seriously, and I want to contribute in my way. I have big dreams, but I also know that I'm trying to do something positive today."

In entertaining, yet informative videos, he will report on the news from Washington - from the Presidential Debates to Supreme Court decisions.
"When you ask people to think seriously about something, you have to make it entertaining or funny," says Schlossberg. "You can't just bombard them with how bad things are. You have to give things, that you care about, a positive and good energy. That's the only strategy I have."
His grandfather, John F. Kennedy, is his "hero," says Schlossberg in an interview with Vogue. He is "a role model for how progressivism can work in America and how America can lead the world in a positive, optimistic, and science-oriented way." Above all, the topic of climate change is close to his heart.
