Interview

What was your first job as a journalist?

Interviewing John Eales - not yet Australian rugby union Wallabies captain.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes.

How is social media changing news?

Social media gives access to people lives at an unprecedented level. Unfortunately, gone are the days of door-knocking to get a story.

How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

Straight to the point. Who, what, where and when. Then when I ask the "why" the answers are concise.

What's your favorite social network?

Twitter

Who do you wish followed you?

People whose first reaction isn't to criticise, troll but can engage in a debate with common sense.

Why did you become a journalist?

Journalism found me through playing sports.

What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?

Break stories. Leave the decision about what platform it is to be published on. Chase hard, own your integrity.

When's the best time to pitch you?

Anytime you have a great yarn.
