Interview

How is social media changing news?

It's giving journalists the opportunity to share events in real-time, as they are happening. On the downside, it's led to fake news spreading.

What does it mean to be a journalist?

It means being accountable and responsible because everything you do or say somewhat shapes people's opinions and perspectives.

Why did you become a journalist?

Curiosity, passion and my love for writing and speaking.

What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?

Work smart, be very informed and trust your gut, it never lies whenever you are in action.

When's the best time to pitch you?

Any time during the day.

What's your favorite drink?

Coffee in the morning, lots of water during the day.

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

At library, or a coffee shop with a book or talking to friends.

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

Almost every competitor, local and international.
