Between 1996 and 1998, she taught journalism at New York University.

Hunter resides in Orange, New Jersey.

On January 31, 2007 Hunter appeared on CNN's "Paula Zahn Now" in a piece on atheists in America. During the open forum portion she made several controversial comments suggesting that "If they [atheists] had Hallmark cards, maybe they wouldn't feel so left out. We have Christmas cards. We have Kwanza cards now. Maybe they need to get some atheist cards and get that whole ball rolling so more people can get involved with what they're doing. I think they need to shut up and let people do what they do." [http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0701/31/pzn.01.html]
