Interview

Have you ever used a typewriter?

I remember the days of Mr. Thompson's freshman typing class, third period. I still own my first word processor, as I thought I was way fancy

How is social media changing news?

While at the fingertips of our modern culture, more than ever, we must embrace the responsibility to do no harm to the reader or subject.

What does it mean to be a journalist?

To be forever curious about the stories that present themselves, so that they may be told with the reader and subject front of mind.

Who do you wish followed you?

Folks who give a damn.

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

I was on my high school speech team, which undoubtedly laid the foundation for my podcast voice.

Aside from your own, what's your favorite publication to read?
