Interview

What was your first job as a journalist?

Associate producer and editor. Though I didn't often produce and mostly edited.

How is social media changing news?

The younger gen. gets their news through some form of social media. A lot of misinformation is also changing the way people look at media.

What tools and software do you use to do your job?

Wordpress, True Anthem, Slack, Akta, Chartbeat. Formerly Edgecast, Socialpilot, Edius (when I was an editor), and a Scripps-based CMS.

What's your favorite social network?

Twitter. Definitely Twitter. Many inside jokes and all. Only wished I joined sooner.

Who do you wish followed you?

HuffPost editor Philip Lewis. Also politicians Gavin Newsom & AOC. Wouldn't mind a follow from Ben Crump either.

What's your favorite drink?

Honestly? A Lexington sour. But it's only available in a restaurant at the Blue Grass Airport, unfortunately. So Whiskey sours have to do now

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

On my phone. I'm by technology in some capacity.
