What was your first job as a journalist?

Freelance writer for Newsweek's communication department

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes! I used a Selectric when I was in high school and college. By the time I went to graduate school, we were already in the digital age.

How is social media changing news?

It is giving news an immediacy that is sadly rendering print, a platform ruled by the deadline-driven publishing cycle, obsolete.
