Interview
How is social media changing news?
Everything is breaking news! The immediacy ups the urgency.
How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?
Email, please!
What's your favorite social network?
Twitter for now, but I'm exploring Clubhouse. TikTok makes me giggle.
Why did you become a journalist?
I love to write and I enjoy educating readers with humor!
Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?
I did! I was Co-Editor-in-Chief.
When's the best time to pitch you?
Alcoholic drinks? I love a Manhattan or a Negroni (also in moderation).
What's your favorite drink?
I know I should say water. I should drink it more. But my favorite non-alcoholic drinks are ginger ale and root beer (in moderation).
When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?
Reading or hanging out with my husband and dog.
