Interview

How is social media changing news?

Social media is enabling journalists to learn about, report on, and tell stories in new ways.

What does it mean to be a journalist?

It means telling true stories that inform, engage, and encourage action in readers.

How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

By email!

What's your favorite social network?

Facebook

When's the best time to pitch you?

Whenever social movements are active; and whenever political changes are causing social disruption.

When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?

In a park, at a protest, or reading!

Aside from your own, what's your favorite publication to read?

I read Briarpatch, a progressive magazine based in Regina, that tells stories about social movements, politics, and culture.
