What was your first job as a journalist?
Reporting on a queer St. Petersburg artist movement and their struggles with homophobia after the 2012 amendment to the Gay Propaganda Law.
Have you ever used a typewriter?
Yes. My late grandfather, a news reporter-turned-local politician, taught me how to use a typewriter.
How is social media changing news?
It invites more transparency as it offers the audience a way to immediately react to reporters and challenge their statements.
