What was your first job as a journalist?

I worked as a staff writer for my college newspaper, The Hilltop.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes, I am old enough to have begun my career on a portable, manual typewriter. Back then, we used carbon paper, as well.

How is social media changing news?

Almost completely from what the industry was when I started out almost 40 years ago. Social media has disaggregated news and information.
