Rita Skeeter, although for all the wrong reasons.

Facebook.

Why did you become a journalist?

I've always had an interest in knowing things first and telling everyone what went on. It just seemed natural.

What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?

Don't get caught up in the rush of the 24-hour news cycle - good reporting always beats out those who report fast and sloppy.
