Interview

Have you ever used a typewriter?

No, and I wouldn't be any good on one either - I rewrite and edit my writing too much.

What's the funniest news-related #hashtag you've seen?

#fakenews - the organic spread of the hashtag originating from the US Presidential Election has seen it continue.

What's your favorite social network?

LinkedIn. As my career progresses, I am finding networking with likeminded people more beneficial.

What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?

Keep a record of EVERYTHING you do. You'll regret it otherwise.

When's the best time to pitch you?

Day or night - my best work happens during the witching hour...

What's your favorite drink?

Water, it's fuel for mind and body.

When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?

On the football pitch.

What's the most common misperception about your beat?

That we are behind the times. Plymouth is a hub for marine technology and lots of other advancements.
