Interview

What was your first job as a journalist?

Day cops -- and night cops and health and city and county government -- at the Montgomery Advertiser. Hey man, shrinking newsrooms.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes, my grandmother's when I was about 4. The CLANG! every time you finished a line has no equal in terms of satisfaction for a writer.

How is social media changing news?

Ask @RayJosen_nyu

Who's your favorite fictional journalist?

E.K. Hornbeck

What does it mean to be a journalist?

It means combining the science of inquiry with the art of the written word. No one gets to have as much serious fun.

What's your favorite social network?

Twitter for work, Facebook for personal.

Why did you become a journalist?

The money.
