Interview

What does it mean to be a journalist?

Shining light into the unlit places.

How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

I don't have a commissioning role.

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

No, but I interned at the Sunderland Echo and reported from Durham Crown Court.

When's the best time to pitch you?

See above.
