Interview

How is social media changing news?

It's challenging all the old beliefs about how news is made, reported, and remembered.

Who's your favorite fictional journalist?

Bridget Jones, who fell into journalism and managed not to break her neck doing it.

What's your favorite social network?

I love Twitter. It's where I've made a lot of contacts with journalists and editors from around the region and elsewhere.

What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?

Always remember your responsibility as a journalist to remain objective.
