Interview

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Both my parents are writers and I played around plenty on their typewriters as a kid.

How is social media changing news?

Some want to say that social media IS news. I say that social media has finally made us realize the value of professional vetting.

What does it mean to be a journalist?

Relentless curiosity.

Why did you become a journalist?

I've always had a thirst to discover the world and a passion to share those discoveries with others.

What story are you most proud of writing or working on?

A documentary on street walkers in St. Petersburg, Russia.

What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?

Stick with it - but understand that journalism is far more complex today than it ever has been before.

When's the best time to pitch you?

Mornings.

What's the worst pitch you ever got?

A pitch for re-usable diapers!

When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?

At the dog park.
