Interview

Have you ever used a typewriter?

I'm afraid so.

How is social media changing news?

It's made it much faster - if something happens, it often turns up on social media before traditional news outlets get a chance.

What does it mean to be a journalist?

It's knowing what's happening, and trying to understand what it means. The first draft of history.

What tools and software do you use to do your job?

Laptop, (MacBook Pro), iPhone, Dalet, Premiere Pro, Audition

Why did you become a journalist?

Actually, I fell into it almost by mistake. I trained as an engineer!

What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?

Listen. You'll be surprised what you learn.

What's the worst pitch you ever got?

"I don't listen to your radio station but I want to appear on it".

What's your favorite drink?

Rum & Coke
