Interview

Have you ever used a typewriter?

As a child, before I could even properly type.

How is social media changing news?

Positive: quicker turnaround rate, more up-to-date information, more connectivity. Negative: everyone has a voice, opinion muddles facts

Who's your favorite fictional journalist?

Lois Lane (but Clark Kent and Peter Parker deserve shout outs!)

What does it mean to be a journalist?

Your goal should be to provide quality, trustworthy information in an entertaining fashion to keep people informed and engaged.

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

MS Word, Photoshop, Evernote, Audacity, YouTube, Blogger, Wordpress

Why did you become a journalist?

I have a voice, I have something to say, and I feel I am a fair and entertaining filter for others to digest information from.

Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?

Yes, I provided movie reviews for all four years of high school.

When's the best time to pitch you?

Any time!

What's your favorite drink?

Water or lemonade

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

I'm pretty much always at my computer!

What's the most common misperception about your beat?

Not all writers about pro wrestling just want to complain. Some have legitimate opinions, smart ideas and credible analysis tools.
