What was your first job as a journalist?

Editor/paginator for a town newspaper, making front pages and arts pages from local and wire copy.

What does it mean to be a journalist?

How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

I'm not high-strung, but I do like to know the basic expectations for format and scope. It's nice to hear from the editor behind the idea.
