What do you enjoy most about being in your industry?
It is still a really exciting industry. There are so many changes, but it is still exciting.
I love hearing people's stories, whether that's from me doing interviews myself or being able to read stories that my writers have done. I love that because I'm constantly learning new things.
I don't think in other industries you necessarily have that breadth of knowledge that you're forced to surround yourself with as you are in news.
