Interview

What was your first job as a journalist?

I graduated college and knew I wanted to work for CNN but didn't have any experience so I started at the bottom as a CNN Tour Guide.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

I suppose I should feel guilty but no, I've never used a typewriter. I was brought up on computers.

How is social media changing news?

I wouldn't know how to do my job without social media. Twitter and TweetDeck are my best friends in breaking news. It's a critical tool.
