Interview
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.
Why did you become a journalist?
I liked talking with others about pulp art and where it came from.
Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?
I did not! That said, I blogged through college with friends.
When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?
Reading in a chair.
Aside from your own, what's your favorite publication to read?
The Digital Antiquarian, Remap, Anime Herald, Paste, Reactor, kimimi's blog, old The AV Club, The Dissolve (when it was alive...)
