Interview
Have you ever used a typewriter?
Only ironically.
Who's your favorite fictional journalist?
Hard to top Murphy Brown.
How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?
Intelligently and by e-mail.
What's your favorite social network?
Twitter, far and away. Facebook's melding of personal and professional creeps me out a bit. Twitter, for me at least, is all business.
