Pins are one of the simplest ways to mark an exact location in Google Maps, especially when the address is missing, wrong, or too vague to be useful. You can drop a pin to save a spot, get directions, send a meetup location, or mark a place you want to find again later. Google Maps lets you drop pins on iPhone, Android, and desktop.

So when your iPhone contacts vanish, whether after a software update or an accidental delete, it can feel like a minor crisis.

What was your first job as a journalist?

I worked for a long-extinct publication called New York WomansWeek and a neighborhood weekly called Our Town.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

yup

How is social media changing news?

Social media gives news even more immediacy than the 24-hour cable presence. It also uncovers more rumor, gossip innuendo, and "fake" news.
