For background to those not in the know, Sandy used to be the Wikimedia Foundation press handler. Jay Walsh has the job she used to do, and some of the 'tectonic shifts' around the time the office was moved to San-Francisco saw her part ways with them.

She's still active online in a journalism related role, and approached me for an interview based on interest in Wikinews/Citizen journalism. The attached is my response which she'll likely publish. I want an unedited version available to people who might care, so here it is.

Jason and Mike H. should perhaps pay particular attention to how I've framed my responses. You will recognise my oblique references to you and the work you do on Wikinews.
