Interview

What was your first job as a journalist?

UK Editor of the theworldoutline.com from February 2013

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Sadly I have not, but you're not a real journalist until you do.

How is social media changing news?

Social media enables news to instantly spread like wildfire, but that anyone can readily comment on news stories.

Who's your favorite fictional journalist?

Rita Skeeter

What's your favorite social network?

Twitter, because of its incredible randomness

Why did you become a journalist?

Having written about international relations academically, I wanted to see if there was a wider audience available for my analysis.
