How is social media changing news?
It means those involved in producing content can't be passive, and the audience now has the tools to challenge our narratives.
How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?
Being concise matters. Give me the two sentence summary up top. Make sure it's relevant not only to my beat but my readership, as well.
What tools and software do you use to do your job?
I do almost everything in Google Drive. I also use Illustrator and Photoshop.
What's your favorite social network?
Instagram
Why did you become a journalist?
I wanted to write about music. Knowing nothing about journalism, I picked a school out of Spin Magazine and was on campus two months later.
What story are you most proud of writing or working on?
I've covered some water bills that were really important but were neglected because of their geographic reach.
What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?
Line up your experience for the career path you want.
When's the best time to pitch you?
Early mornings when I'm going through emails for the first time of the day.
