Interview

Have you ever used a typewriter?

yes

What does it mean to be a journalist?

As a science and nature journalist, I get to reach different demographics. I don't just preach to the choir about climate change mitigation.

Who do you wish followed you?

Priscilla Presley, Dalai Lama, and George Schaller

Why did you become a journalist?

I don't have the attention span to focus on one subject for too long. I enjoy reaching out to people & educating them about the environment.

What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?

Specialize in a discipline such as a zoology or fine arts, hone your writing skills, and share your passion.

When's the best time to pitch you?

Anytime (email me at jcschaul@aol.com).
