Interview

How is social media changing news?

Social media is transforming news into a fast-paced, participatory experience. It breaks down the 'gatekeeper' role of traditional media, but also makes it harder to verify information. This leads to a need for increased media literacy, as everyone now has the power to be a reporter.

How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

I prefer concise email pitches outlining the story's key points and relevance to my audience. Alternatively, you can send a direct message on my social media, including a compelling hook and brief explanation.

Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?

I didn't work for my high school newspaper, but I did contribute to my college publication. I wrote an article exploring how digital marketing offers opportunities for entrepreneurship in Nagaland, potentially reducing reliance on government jobs.

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

I love watching Football (Soccer) when I'm not writing.
