Interview
What was your first job as a journalist?
My first professional job was writing for a small sports paper in Irvine, Calif., while still in high school.
Have you ever used a typewriter?
I used one until high school, but I skipped over the entire "word processor" movement and went directly to an Apple and then a PC.
How is social media changing news?
It's not only creating a higher level of reader engagement, but it's helping increase accountability.
Who's your favorite fictional journalist?
Lois Lane
What's your favorite social network?
For news: Twitter; for fun: Instagram.
Why did you become a journalist?
Growing up, I loved writing, so working on my school newspapers became a natural outlet for that leading to my ultimate career choices.
