What was your first job as a journalist?

I announced the starting lineups at my high school's baseball games and called some football games on our school's radio feed. A thrill.

Who's your favorite fictional journalist?

The entire newsroom from "Broadcast News" and/or Charles Foster Kane from "Citizen Kane". (The latter might be a sociopath.)

What does it mean to be a journalist?

To tell stories, and to give a window into worlds readers, listeners, and watchers may not otherwise know to explore. This work is vital.
