Interview

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

When I supported Devin Nunes and Twitter went crazy on my selfie with him.

How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

Email me at marc@aib2b.org

What's your favorite social network?

Facebook over Twitter and Instagram.

Who do you wish followed you?

People who I share conservative values with and liberals and nonpartisans who want to learn and get nuanced on the issues.

Why did you become a journalist?

To share my story and my unique perspective.

Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?

No. I didn’t think of being a writer until I had life stories to write about.

What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?

Find your voice. You can’t write if you have no life experience.

What's the best pitch you ever got?

To write on Prop 16 and my opposition to the racist ballot measure which eventually failed. But it allowed me to explore nuance around racism

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

Throwing an event.
