What was your first job as a journalist?

First paying job: Columnist and feature writer for the now-defunct Motor City Sports magazine.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes. My parents bought me an electric typewriter in junior high so I could hone my skills.

How is social media changing news?

It's made being fast far more (and wrongly) important than getting it right. You're also held accountable by readers and peers more strongly.
