Interview

What was your first job as a journalist?

I was the "young generational voice" at The Spokesman-Review in Spokane, Washington. I reviewed movies on Mondays after opening weekend.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes. When I was a child, I was obsessively collecting sports cards. I would use my mom's typewriter to make my own.

How is social media changing news?

It removes the possibility of a corporate filter and allows for regular citizens to report.

Who's your favorite fictional journalist?

My favorite characters are flawed. My favorite fictional journalists are Howard Beale and Suzanne Stone. Opposite ends of their rope.

When's the best time to pitch you?

Whenever you is convenient for you.
