Interview
Have you ever used a typewriter?
I aspire to use one some day.
How is social media changing news?
It levels the playing field. It forces the best and brightest to rise above others. It makes everything immediate. It hurts attention spans.
What does it mean to be a journalist?
To communicate useful or interesting information in an accurate and precise manner.
What's the funniest news-related #hashtag you've seen?
I am not a fan of hashtags.
How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?
Email please: helliott@forbes.com
What's your favorite social network?
Instagram!
Why did you become a journalist?
It's the most fun I could think of having in a respectable career. And I use the word "respectable" loosely.
Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?
No. Yes? I can't remember.
What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?
Read as much as you can. Write as much as you can. Be open to trying things you're not sure you can do and are not sure you will like.
When's the best time to pitch you?
Any time via email. I'm up 24/7.
