Interview
What was your first job as a journalist?
My first job was as a photographer/editor.
Have you ever used a typewriter?
No, but I would like to try one sometime!
How is social media changing news?
Social media makes communication instantaneous. People do not have to wait for a newscast to get important news anymore.
What does it mean to be a journalist?
It means being willing to put in the work required to present the facts about issues in which the general public has a vested interest.
What's the funniest news-related #hashtag you've seen?
I enjoy following #reporterproblems
How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?
Email, but make sure my name is in the subject line. I get a LOT of spam masquerading as pitches!
What tools and software do you use to do your job?
HD Camera, non-linear video editor, iPad/iPhone/PC with Evernote
What's your favorite social network?
I still prefer Facebook to Twitter. Most of my real-life friends haven't joined Twitter yet.
