Interview

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes. And I covet an Underwood manual with an interesting provenance.

How is social media changing news?

Headlines and primary images really must zing. This is a double-edged sword.

Who's your favorite fictional journalist?

Clark Kent, of course.

How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

I prefer a detailed pitch with the hook at the beginning followed by documents and other evidence supporting it.
