Interview
Have you ever used a typewriter?
Of course, I'm 55 years old.
How is social media changing news?
For the better for the most part. I write on international topics and social media follows many topics that would go unreported.
Why did you become a journalist?
I write to influence public debate on important topic, especially debates that I think are wrong-headed or not rooted in evidence.
What's your favorite drink?
Old fashioned.
What's the most common misperception about your beat?
That politics in foreign countries are inscrutable.
Would you like to take the Muck Rack Interview?
