What was your first job as a journalist?

My first paying job was as a freshman in college working for the Daily Iowan, Iowa's student and community newspaper.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

I have, though not in quite some time. I prefer to handwrite letters.

How is social media changing news?

It's making everything easier to consume and changing the way newspapers have to think — not something everyone wants to do.
