Interview
How is social media changing news?
It's quicker, in the best and worst ways.
What's your favorite social network?
Twitter, though I feel like there's increasingly space for it to be overthrown.
Why did you become a journalist?
For the money.
Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?
I worked at my university newspaper, Varsity; breaking stories that got picked up internationally, plus senior editorial roles.
What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?
Write a lot! And read whenever you can — thinking critically about the choices that have been made and why they work or don't.
