Interview

How is social media changing news?

It is murdering our critical thinking skills.

How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

The way my grandfather did it. Via email.

What's the best pitch you ever got?

An offer to write about a resort in the Caribbean. Travel writers have quite the life. I apparently chose the wrong beat.

When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?

I am supposed to say that I would be practicing drums or reading, but these days it is probably playing VR.
