Local Broadcast News
How is social media changing news?
Everyone is a reporter- that is why it is important to find a person who actually knows how to report the news accurately.
How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?
Email is great- and if we are working on a story- I like to talk to people on the phone if possible.
Why did you become a journalist?
To try to shed light in the darkness.
What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?
Follow your heart- and don't follow the masses. Make your own decisions and report the facts not the emotions.

Anytime- but at least a week or two prior to an event.

Cappuccino made with Kona coffee beans.
