Interview

What was your first job as a journalist?

Trainee reporter for the Aldershot News and Mail. Very glam.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

I used to have a pink typewriter when I was about 11, if that counts.

How is social media changing news?

Well, my job didn't exist before social media came along...

Who's your favorite fictional journalist?

Definitely Lois Lane.

What tools and software do you use to do your job?

Usually a desktop, my iPhone and possibly a tablet from time to time.

Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?

We didn't have one at my Welsh-medium secondary school in South Wales. I did do some stuff for our university paper though.
