Interview

What was your first job as a journalist?

To sort agency copy, taste them. Oh -- and to fetch coffee, tea, biscuits, for the real journalists in the room.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes.

How is social media changing news?

It is making the storytelling a participative process -- one where you can involve the audience through the process of creation.

Who's your favorite fictional journalist?

Mark Bradshaw

What's your favorite social network?

Twitter

What story are you most proud of writing or working on?

The latest one. Before that, it was the one before that. And so on.

What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?

Read a lot. Write a lot. Don't worry about whether it is good or bad, just yet -- keep reading, keep writing.
