Yes, it's my favorite format for brainstorming.
How is social media changing news?
It's sadly encouraging people to read news in 140 characters or less, even more than they used to.
How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

Who do you wish followed you?
Jimmy Fallon, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, basically anyone from SNL.
Why did you become a journalist?
