What was your first job as a journalist?

Student newspapers from grade school to university, as well as some zines I created or helped with. Then a newspaper I helped start.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes. I played with my parents' mechanical Olympus in grade school and wrote my first reports in junior on an electric typewriter.
