Interview
How is social media changing news?
In every way imaginable. It is revealing all of the cracks in a broken business model. ALL reporting is now immediate and instantaneous.

Malcolm Gladwell, Willie Nelson, Jon Stewart
Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?
We didn't have a newspaper at my high school. So I put together a staff of about 10 students and we created one my junior year—El Zorro Loco.
What's your favorite drink?
A good spiced rum — with or without Coke.
When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?
On a mountain trail in the Gila National Forest.
