What was your first job as a journalist?

Radio announcer for the blind. I read the newspaper cover to cover and realized quickly that the written and spoken word are different.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes. My first paying job was selling typewriters at Sears.

How is social media changing news?

Social media hasn't necessarily changed news. It has changed how people consume and react to the news. Fact checking is still crucial.
