Interview
What was your first job as a journalist?
Working as a photog for my college paper.
What does it mean to be a journalist?
That’s nearly impossible to answer within character limitations.
What's the funniest news-related #hashtag you've seen?
What's your favorite social network?
That depends on the application. Facebook and Twitter for sharing story links with short blurbs, but Twitter for real-time event threads.
What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?
The only dumb question is the 1 you don’t ask — whether of a source or talking with experienced colleagues. Perpetual learning is our job.
When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?
In the field, or a coffee shop.
