Having said that though you do have to be careful about your sources and learn to spot the real story from the fake. I’d like to say I’ve found a balance but I am a total addict, it’s the first thing I check in the morning and the last thing at night. You tend to think Twitter, in particular, has made journalism easier as you learn about breaking news so quickly but it does mean you are never off. It’s hard to imagine life without it now although it has only been a constant presence for the last few years. How has the explosion of social media affected your role? It must be so difficult to avoid Twitter etc and have any down time when it’s now such a 24 hour presence in our lives.
