Interview
How is social media changing news?
Many journalists/outlets now aim for "clicks" on social media. The result has been watered-down, sensationalist stories that lack substance. In-depth/investigative journalism is becoming harder to find.
What does it mean to be a journalist?
It means observing and thinking about the world and then persuading your audience to do the same. The best journalists inform, entertain, and sometimes emotionally connect with their readers/listeners/viewers.
Who do you wish followed you?
It would be an honor to someday have Michael Kay praise my work. He is a legend, someone who has excelled at every form of sports journalism--TV, radio, print, even social media.
Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?
Yes, I was the sports editor. I was able to develop my voice/style and have fun at the same time.
