How is social media changing news?

It is allowing for news to spread more quickly; however it is also forcing the public to be more skeptical and find sources they trust.

What's your favorite social network?

Twitter, it has a fast pace in getting news out to the public and nearly every journalist is on there.

What story are you most proud of writing or working on?

I am most proud of my article on our district's union fighting for health care, paid time off and better structure for disabled workers.
