Interview
How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?
I do the pitching when a story interests me - never the other way round.
What's your favorite social network?
Twitter
Why did you become a journalist?
I write journalistic pieces as ways to develop open-ended non-academic ideas in response to events and issues.
What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?
Always trust the story but check your facts – everyone has an opinion, but few have informed opinions.
