Interview
Who's your favorite fictional journalist?
Augustus Haynes of The Wire. His character verbalized what, I imagine, just about every journalist has felt the past several years.
What's the funniest news-related #hashtag you've seen?
Why did you become a journalist?
To help make the world a better place.
Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?
Of course! Rose up the ranks from reporter to news editor to co-editor-in-chief.
What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?
If your heart and soul don't drive you to be a journalist don't bother. This industry is tough, but worth it.
When's the best time to pitch you?
First thing in the morning. Don't interrupt me when I'm close to deadline.
