Interview

How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

Email! shilpaganatra1@gmail.com

What's your favorite social network?

Twitter is the best source for information still, though journalism-related Facebook groups I've joined are interesting too.

Why did you become a journalist?

Writing was all I ever wanted to do as a job. Music, film, books and travel were all I wanted to do in my free time. Boom.

When's the best time to pitch you?

Anytime

What's the most common misperception about your beat?

That it's pure fun. I love my assignments, but also, my brain runs at a million miles an hour in work mode.
