What was your first job as a journalist?

I worked as a business newscaster for our campus radio station at the Multimedia University of Kenya in Nairobi, Kenya.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

No, but I've watched people use it. It seems more hands-on and intense. Would definitely love to try it.

What tools and software do you use to do your job?

I use MeltWater, Vortimo, PyCOORNet, DataWrapper, Flourish, Excel, Gephi, Google Trends, among others.
