What was your first job as a journalist?

My first paid job was as a freelancer for the "underground" newspaper, the Los Angeles "Free Press" back in 1971 or so.

How is social media changing news?

An easier question would be, "How is it not?"

Who's your favorite fictional journalist?

Perry White. Of course, he's an editor, but that's a kind of journalist I think.
