What was your first job as a journalist?
Let's qualify this by saying this was my first job out of college: Paginator.
Have you ever used a typewriter?
Yes. In a newsroom, though? No.
What does it mean to be a journalist?
A journalist constructively and ethically contributes to the free marketplace of ideas.
What's the funniest news-related #hashtag you've seen?
Sorry, Muck Rack, it's not #muckedup. It's #oldbirdsnewtweets --When two octogenarians took over the @kraftmacncheese account.
What tools and software do you use to do your job?
All of them.
Why did you become a journalist?
I became a journalist to make a difference. Is anyone out there groaning yet?
