Interview

What does it mean to be a journalist?

Journalism is about printing news powerful people don't want published. Everything else is just public relations.

Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?

I did not. I backed into journalism almost by mistake.

When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?

On my bike or walking in the mountains.

Aside from your own, what's your favorite publication to read?

Common Dreams, Jacobin, the GrayZone
