Who's your favorite fictional journalist?
Tintin. Sometimes he's too involved and becomes the story, but he chases a lead to the ends of the earth. That's passion.
How is social media changing news?
It's turned every organization into a breaking news outlet. You are always right on deadline, and everyone in the world is your competitor.
