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.

@McKenzieRomero You too. I'm back to work tomorrow morning and might be called in Monday to help. Might prove a short reprieve.
Looks like Monday might turn out to be a really, really busy day for reporters.
