Interview
Have you ever used a typewriter?
Yes
What's the funniest news-related #hashtag you've seen?
Why did you become a journalist?
Because stories don't have to be profitable to be powerful and important.
Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?
I was published in the school's literary journal and a finalist in a regional young playwright competition.
When's the best time to pitch you?
Anytime, but please follow up.
What's the best pitch you ever got?
Difficult to say. Very few pitches become stories, series, or projects. So anything that becomes something is a good pitch.
What's the worst pitch you ever got?
A pyramid scheme claiming to be a group supporting young entrepreneurs.
When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?
In my headphones
What's the most common misperception about your beat?
That long form narrative stories are just longer news features.
