What was your first job as a journalist?

In my mid 20s I was a news intern at The Christian Science Monitor's Monitor Radio.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Of course. I came of age in the 80s. Learned to type on electric typewriters and actually took one to college (where I converted to Macs).
