Interview

What was your first job as a journalist?

A copy kid at the New York Post—I was a literal ink-stained wretch

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes! My mom has a teal Smith-Corona Corsair Deluxe. Legend has it that she typed her entire masters thesis on it.

What's your favorite social network?

TikTok (even though, as an elder millennial, I'm too old for it)

What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?

Don't try to follow someone else's path, their way into media won't be the same as yours. Pursue the truth. Ask why.
