Interview

What was your first job as a journalist?

I wrote for a football (aka soccer) website called FootyBlog while still at University.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

No, I have never used a typewriter. In fact, I've never seen a typewriter in real life.

Who's your favorite fictional journalist?

My favorites are probably people like Rob Burgundy or Robin Scherbatsky, but I like them more because of their personalities than their work.

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

At TheGamer, I use Asana to claim and organize tasks, Emaki is the CMS I write in, and I use Slack to communicate with editors.

Why did you become a journalist?

I wrote for a football website at University and really enjoyed it. So, I continued in the field.

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

Probably at my Xbox playing games or watching TV.
