What was your first job as a journalist?

I had the chance to write freelance pieces for Crunchyroll News. The first one that was published was about the BL series "given" in 2019.

How is social media changing news?

It can hurt or help. Many years ago it used to be a tool people could use to find each other, now that's much harder to do.

What does it mean to be a journalist?

Have an angle, know the context, don't compromise if you can help it.
