What was your first job as a journalist?

An intern for a British publication covering the film industry. What a fantastic learning experience it was for me.

How is social media changing news?

It has become one of the top sources that people use for their news and, if used properly, where journalists can get their breaking news.

Who's your favorite fictional journalist?

Will McAvoy mixed with some Sloan Sabbith. I hope mixing is allowed.
