What was your first job as a journalist?

My first job as a journalist was at 16 covering Scouts and BOE meetings for a tiny weekly in the Adirondacks. I still have the clippings.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes, I have used a typewriter! My first articles were done in 1991 on a typewriter (and not for kitch reasons - that was the tool I had).

What does it mean to be a journalist?

Today what it means to be a journalist is being a torchbearer for truth, creativity and the human spirit. It's not easy, but it's worth it.
