Interview
How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?
Human based narratives that include something actually happening. Humans make more interesting stories than topics themselves.
What's your favorite social network?
Twitter has certainly been the most useful social media platform for me. It has become integrated into my life and workflow seamlessly.
Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?
I was the editor of my high school yearbook, which was a full time job. I also was the photo editor of my college's newspaper.
When's the best time to pitch you?
Now! The nature of journalism requires extreme multitasking. This means we are planning the next story before we finish the one we're on.
