Interview

What was your first job as a journalist?

Editing a computer industry newsletter called M&A Impact - for Kevin White and Krishna Roy. Lovely people.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes, but a long, long time ago...

Who's your favorite fictional journalist?

William Boot - who else?

What does it mean to be a journalist?

Working hard for little reward - but rare moments of great personal satisfaction or glorious recognition (tho the two almost never coincide)

How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

By phone, with email info back. Once!

What's your favorite social network?

My group of friends - who I see - in the flesh....

Who do you wish followed you?

Xi Jinping, though I think maybe he has people to do that for him
