Q: News or Twitter updates for breaking news? Which do you value more?

Q: Do you think sensationalism sells? Do you feel you need to cater to what your readers want?
A: No doubt people love sensationalism. Our audience loves politics but if there's a hint of sex, we'll take it, thanks.
Q: What piece of technology is your office away from the office?
A: At the moment, my BlackBerry because the MTN edge network is more reliable than the Vodacom 3g network and the bb battery is better than the iPhone battery.
Q: If you owned the patent to any gadget, what would it be and why?
A: Mobile phones, billions to be made.
Q: What are your thoughts on the iPhone 4? Over-hyped?
A: iPhone 4 looks magnificent. I want one but, yes, it’s overhyped.
