| Pride Source Verified
On any given week, Chris Azzopardi might be on the phone with Cher in the morning and, by afternoon, editing a story about a queer teen in rural Michigan who started a Pride event in a town that had never seen one.

What was your first job as a journalist?

I wrote an article about my grandpa for my elementary paper when I was 6.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

What does it mean to be a journalist?

This is a broad term in 2018. I'd like to think it still encompasses earnest story tellers who are driven by facts.
