Interview

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes.

How is social media changing news?

The good thing: Social media gives everyone a voice. The bad thing: Social media gives everyone a voice. Trust in information is a problem.

What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?

Keep an open mind and always be curious. Always ask the next question, it could be the most interest aspect.

What's the worst pitch you ever got?

One that was completely outside of my areas of interest and the person pitching kept after me that I should take the call without context.

Aside from your own, what's your favorite publication to read?

Wall Street Journal

What's the most common misperception about your beat?

That more features, functions, news is better. Quality matters over quantity.
