Interview
Have you ever used a typewriter?
Yes, I did use a typewriter back in elementary school to write up school reports. I actually own a beautiful, old typewriter now.

Lois Lane
How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?
A simple, personalized email with a brief pitch. Include all the facts (who, what, where, when, why) and a list of contact information.
Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?
I contributed a few times, but I was more into yearbook. I was the yearbook editor my senior year.
