Interview

What was your first job as a journalist?

Intern reporter at Weser Report, a bi-weekly free local newspaper in my hometown of Bremen, Germany.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes.

How is social media changing news?

Social media can give marginalized and underrepresented groups a tool for a louder voice to speak for those that cannot.

Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?

Founding member and staff reporter.

What's the worst pitch you ever got?

Any pitch that 1) names our outlet incorrectly and 2) offers a ready-made article/report without any of our input, goes into the trash.

What's your favorite drink?

Simply soda water with a slice of lemon.

When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?

In the field.

What's the most common misperception about your beat?

That being a foreign correspondent is an easy job masked as a holiday in an "exotic country".
