Interview
What was your first job as a journalist?
My buds and I had a weekly column published in their father's media company. We made a buck and a half per line.
Have you ever used a typewriter?
Yes, a Smith Corona, and it was a beast.
How is social media changing news?
It paradoxically generates suspicion of news and trusted sources. It belabors credibility while losing substance.
Who's your favorite fictional journalist?
Lois Lane, final answer.
Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?
Yes, I was a photographer who covered Sports and special events.
What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?
Don't strive to deliver perfection to the page. An article is never finished until it is actually printed.
