Interview
Who's your favorite fictional journalist?
Clark Kent. Peter Parker would be 1st, but he's a photographer.
What does it mean to be a journalist?
It means I am a servant of the public. I know for a lot of journalists it's about ego. For me, it's about free press and democracy.
What's the best pitch you ever got?
I delete pitches. I'm usually enticed by things people randomly say. I'm always looking for stories that nobody has done yet.
What's your favorite drink?
Beer.
When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?
Interviewing sources.
