What was your first job as a journalist?

I was a reporter for TAPinto Ridgewood.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

I have, but in thrift stores and in other people's houses. I considered buying a Olivetti Lettera, but I don't have enough space on my desk.

How is social media changing news?

It's bringing it to more people, but it is also changing the overall narrative, we actually see how people feel without going outside.
