Interview
Have you ever used a typewriter?
No, I've never used a typewriter.
How is social media changing news?
Social media is making news more immediate and accessible, allowing stories to spread rapidly. However, it's also enabling the proliferation of misinformation and blurring the lines between fact-based reporting and opinion.
Who's your favorite fictional journalist?
While not a traditional journalist, Tony Stark is my favorite fictional media figure. His quick wit, intelligence, and ability to uncover the truth are impressive.
What's your favorite social network?
I'd have to go with Facebook to stay connected, though LinkedIn is a close second if we count professional networks as social media.
Why did you become a journalist?
I'm passionate about technology and love sharing that excitement with others through my writing.
When's the best time to pitch you?
The best time to pitch me is on weekday mornings, especially Mondays or Tuesdays. I'm most receptive to fresh ideas early in the week.
When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?
When I'm not glued to my screen, you'll likely find me hanging out with friends, nose-deep in a good book, or out exploring nature. Disconnecting and recharging offline helps me come back to my computer with fresh perspectives.
