What was your first job as a journalist?

My first staff job was as a sub-editor at the Edinburgh Evening News. I still have happy memories of that - fun paper, great team.

Who's your favorite fictional journalist?

Jane Craig.

How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

Please don't pitch me on stories - the best contacts are almost always with the reporters at the WSJ and Dow Jones.
