No.
How is social media changing news?
By blurring the lines between factual reporting and disinformation.
Who's your favorite fictional journalist?
From sliding down a fireman's pole at Sit Up Britain to on-air grilling her baby daddy, no-one does it quite like Bridget Jones.

To commit to values of truth and impartiality. To represent stories interestingly and accurately. To write the first draft of history.

Curiosity is a journalist's best feature!
What's your favorite drink?
Old Fashioned.
When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?
In my teeny London garden, with my hands covered in soil. Offline sanctuaries are vital to escape the fast-paced world of news.
