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.
