What was your first job as a journalist?

I filled in at my local radio station, WKNY in Kingston, NY, doing morning news and sports updates.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

My dad had one, and I'm very happy technology advanced to where I never had to rely on something like that!

How is social media changing news?

For better or worse, everyone has a platform and can use it in whatever ways they wish.
