Interview
Have you ever used a typewriter?
Yes. When I was in college I used a Selectric both to write stories for the student paper & to satisfy requirements for weightlifting class.
How is social media changing news?
Everyone has his or her own personal wire service now, thanks to Twitter.
Who's your favorite fictional journalist?
Tie: Ted Baxter of "Mary Tyler Moore Show" fame & Ed Hutcheson (Humphrey Bogart) in "Deadline USA."
How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?
Standing behind home plate with a Louisville Slugger.
What's your favorite social network?
Facebook is hands-down more fun than Twitter. Google Plus is like shouting into a gorge with no echo.
Who do you wish followed you?
Dave Barry (@rayadverb)
Why did you become a journalist?
It's indoor work and no heavy lifting.
