What advice would you give to your student self now?
from the UK. I had to beg to get her to talk to me, not glamorous.
Don’t be afraid to ask for training. And never say never about journalism. For example, I never wanted to be an editor, I always wanted to be a features editor or on a newspaper. I could never see myself giving up writing.
What has been the proudest moment of your career?
What has been your best interview? The biggest name I’ve interviewed is Cameron Diaz. I got flown to Los Angeles in Upper Class, picked up by a stretch limo and put up at the Regent Beverly Wilshire. But then it was such hard work. Cameron Diaz was doing back-to-back interviews for Shrek and I was told she wouldn’t talk to anybody
I did an investigation on the antidepressant seroxat, which had been linked to several suicides. I received letters from people who were taking the drug and had, from nowhere, developed suicidal thoughts. They were so relived to discover that they weren’t going mad. You get to experience some amazing perks on the job, but it’s the chance to change peoples lives that will stay with you forever and remind you why you got into journalism. HANNA IBRAHEEM
