Interview

What was your first job as a journalist?

Proofreading community papers in upstate New York.

Who's your favorite fictional journalist?

Rita Skeeter, from Harry Potter. There's usually truth in parody.

What's the funniest news-related #hashtag you've seen?

I tend not to pay attention to hashtags unless I'm looking to filter a specific topic.

How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

Email (and definitely not Facebook messages or DMs). Public tweets are OK.

Who do you wish followed you?

Ashton Kutcher. He want's everybody to follow him, so pay it forward, I say.
