Interview

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes, I actually first learned how to type on a typewriter, and my brother would get me to type all of his essays for schools on it.

How is social media changing news?

I can read up on a news item even before a full article has been written and get the gist of it in 140 characters or less.

Who do you wish followed you?

Ira Glass. I just love what he produces on This American Life.

What story are you most proud of writing or working on?

My interview with Takashi Murakami. I've been a huge fan of his work for years and it was great to spend a few days immersed in his world.

When's the best time to pitch you?

During the weekdays, especially from 6 am to 7 pm.
