Interview

What was your first job as a journalist?

Tahlequah Daily Press. My boss said, "I'll give you an article. If I like it, you're hired. If I don't, you're fired." No pressure.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes! But not for journalism. I'm what Jaboukie Young-White calls a 'vintage millennial,' which means we had typewriters when I was in diapers

How is social media changing news?

People now want news immediately and free. They complain, "Why do newspapers have paywalls?" Well, we never handed out free papers either.
