Interview

Have you ever used a typewriter?

It's on my bucket list.

How is social media changing news?

I can't add any new insights on information bubbles or misinfo/disinfo spread that hasn't already been addressed by other doomsayers.

Who's your favorite fictional journalist?

J. Jonah Jameson

What does it mean to be a journalist?

Exposing people to new ideas, whether that's inspiration or crises.

Who do you wish followed you?

Neil Gaiman?

Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?

I did, I transcribed, made graphics, and wrote opinion/humor pieces.

When's the best time to pitch you?

I have no off-season, so anytime.

What's the best pitch you ever got?

I'll never forget that era when editors let you write anything you wanted about Game of Thrones.
