What was your first job as a journalist?

I was an editor of my high school newspaper, the HawkEye at Urbana Highschool. I did the music, arts and news sections.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes! I loved the sound the keys made.

How is social media changing news?

It changes it for both better and for worse. The need for immediacy can come at a cost of factual information.
