Interview
See all 21 answers →What was your first job as a journalist?
My first role in journalism was as a freelance content writer and contributor, where I covered business, technology, and startup stories for digital publications. This early experience taught me how to craft compelling narratives that engage readers and capture the attention of editors—skills I now apply to strategic PR and media placements for global brands.
Have you ever used a typewriter?
Yes, I used a typewriter during school, which gave me an early appreciation for the discipline of writing and storytelling. It’s interesting to see how far technology has come, and I now blend that same focus with modern digital media and PR strategies.
How is social media changing news?
Social media has fundamentally changed how news is discovered, consumed, and shared. It allows stories to reach global audiences instantly, amplifies engagement, and gives readers a voice in shaping the narrative. At the same time, it demands that journalists and PR professionals create credible, timely, and visually compelling content to stand out amid the noise. Social media has turned news into a two-way conversation, where impact depends not just on reporting, but on connecting meaningfully with audiences.
