Have you ever used a typewriter?
Yes. I'm not sure if I still own one.
How is social media changing news?
It isn't.

Who do you wish followed you?
I don't have a wish list of who follows me. Just don't hire me at $10-for-a-thousand-word rates. You know who you are.
Why did you become a journalist?
Few people bother talking about Canadian television. That hasn't changed in more than a decade.
When's the best time to pitch you?
August, November/December, February, and May. Also, pitch me around pilot and upfront season.
