Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes, but not in any official capacity. More of a "grandpa had one, so I typed my name a few times" thing.

How is social media changing news?

It's not changing news, it's becoming the news.

What does it mean to be a journalist?

To be devoted to the truth and sharing that truth with the world without bias.
