By Sandy Ellison

How is social media changing news?

I think social media has changed news by helping it reach more people, more quickly, and often in a more accessible way. I see it as a complement to traditional journalism, something that can extend the reach of strong reporting rather than replace it.

What does it mean to be a journalist?

To me, being a journalist means creating work that is relevant, honest, and grounded in how people actually live. I’m especially committed to serving the 55+ community because, despite its size and influence, it remains underrepresented in today’s media landscape. Too often, coverage misses the reality of what this stage of life looks like today. That is important to me not only professionally, but personally as well, because it reflects my own life and the lives of so many people around me.

What's your favorite social network?

Facebook. It has really stood the test of time, and for the 55+ audience, it is still one of the most active and natural places to connect.
