Interview

How is social media changing news?

The social media is changing the way we gather information, package news. It's no longer just about who said what, when, where, why and how.

What does it mean to be a journalist?

Being able to investigate, gather information and all facts, verify, process/package them in form of news, then disseminate it to the public.

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

What's your favorite social network?

You will find me on Twitter and Facebook. If it's very urgent, I am available on WhatsApp most the time.

Why did you become a journalist?

To keep the publics reliably informed and educated about things that matter, not just to them but also to the societies that they live in.
