Interview
What was your first job as a journalist?
Working full time, it was an intern on the Metro desk at the Columbus Dispatch. I covered anything they gave me (and some of my own stuff).
Why did you become a journalist?
Short answer: I don't know. Long answer: To learn something new every day and highlight the good in the world.
Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?
I did, but we didn't really actually write news. I used to write opinion pieces for the front page.
What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?
Call first, email second.
When's the best time to pitch you?
Monday or Friday mornings.
What's your favorite drink?
If non-alcoholic: coffee. If alcoholic: a long island from Ray's Place in Kent.
