Interview
Have you ever used a typewriter?
Yes! For some reason my mother had one at home as she was a PA at the BFI just before computers were a thing everyone had in their offices.
Who's your favorite fictional journalist?
April O'Neil
What does it mean to be a journalist?
To ask questions, sometimes very obvious ones, that haven't been asked.
What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?
I'd be offering advice to myself as I'm not yet employed as a journalist: Hustle, be organised, take careful notes, read them back, be nice
What's your favorite drink?
A really cold and high-quality beer in the early evening after an exciting day.
Aside from your own, what's your favorite publication to read?
Private eye, for its humour and publishing what others don't.
