What was your first job as a journalist?

I did a number of internships, including The Washington Center for Politics and Journalism at The Chicago Tribune's Washington, D.C. bureau.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes, a long time ago.

Who's your favorite fictional journalist?

Not sure. When I was a child, I watched re-runs of the Mary Tyler Moore's TV Show. Must binge re-watch the series to see how it holds up.
