Interview
Have you ever used a typewriter?
Yes
How is social media changing news?
Too fast, too furious.
Who's your favorite fictional journalist?
HIldy Johnson (played by Rosalind Russell) in His Girl Friday. But most are impossibly heroic / noble or terrible muckraking hacks, tbh.
Why did you become a journalist?
My love of writing and politics and the arts came together during Cultural Studies degree - love to combine the three.
What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?
Write, write, write, read, read, read. And never be deterred by not receiving a reply. Try again.
What's the worst pitch you ever got?
There are none as bad as some of the ones I did early on.
What's your favorite drink?
I like all drinks
