Interview

How is social media changing news?

Social media challenges our ethical boundaries when getting source's information, but it also helps us keep our finger on the pulse of news.

Who's your favorite fictional journalist?

Peter Parker is the best portrayal of a journalist. He tries to make ends meet and deals with ethical dilemmas daily. And Spider-Man rocks.

What does it mean to be a journalist?

Being a journalist means using your professional curiosity to always get the story by doing whatever it takes while still acting ethically.

What's your favorite social network?

Twitter is a journalist's dream. It is the easiest way to disseminate breaking news, cover city council meetings or check up on a source.
