Interview
What was your first job as a journalist?
Data Journalist at SME.sk
What does it mean to be a journalist?
To be a storyteller, to speak up, to aspire for change where is needed.
What tools and software do you use to do your job?
Macbook and iPhone are the most important. Social media is second (TW, FB, Instagram). And I always try new apps (Voddio, Hyperlapse, etc)
What's your favorite social network?
Twitter, of course.
Why did you become a journalist?
It was not my first choice, at first I studied medicine. Afterwards realised that media and journalism are better suited for my big mouth.
What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?
There is always something new going on in journalism. Learn and stay up to date. Always. I do and it helps a lot.
When's the best time to pitch you?
Anytime.
What's the most common misperception about your beat?
Basically no-one knew what I was doing and had to explain all the time.
