What is your style of teaching?

I try to be approachable because all questions are important. I'm always bursting with enthusiasm when explaining why some internet tools are so useful for journalists.

What is your claim to fame?

During my career I have interviewed an interesting and diverse selection of people from Rolf Harris and Oasis, to David Cameron and various members of the cabinet. However, much to my niece's disappointment I have never interviewed a member of JLS.
