What was your first job as a journalist?

I ran errands for the editor, ran hand-subbed hard copy to the works. I also wrote fillers and sometimes got to do the odd theater review

Yes. I still have my Hermes portable in a hard case. It was my first "laptop" when I worked as a foreign correspondent in London the 1980s

What does it mean to be a journalist?

Have a strong sense of right and wrong, a thick skin and expect to have fun but not to get rich
