How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?
There is no preferred way. I'll take phone calls, emails, DM on Twitter, carrier pigeon - whatever works.
How is social media changing news?
It's broadening the coverage of topics and it's allowing more direct interaction with sources previously more difficult to cultivate.
