Interview

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes - I am old!

What does it mean to be a journalist?

I am an accidental journalist - in real life I am a psychology professor.

Who do you wish followed you?

Everyone!

What story are you most proud of writing or working on?

I think that my piece on mass shootings addressed a much more serious issue than most of the things I write.

What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?

Do not major in journalism. Yes, work on your writing skills, but develop real expertise in a traditional academic discipline.

What's your favorite drink?

Bourbon on the rocks
