Q&A… with Star News intern Ethan Benedicto

What do you love about working as a journalist?

Being able to write stories about people and their experiences has always been my favourite part of me being a journalist. The other part is the investigative side of the role. I like finding out about things and talking to the people involved who would be able to tell me more; I’m always curious.

If you were an animal, what animal would you be?

Probably a chimpanzee, I like holding things.

What would your last meal be?

Marble 8 Wagyu steak, medium rare with some fries and creamy mushroom sauce.

What has been your most memorable moment so far?

As a journalist, being published in my first newspaper, which I’ve always thought was cool since I was little. In general, doing my first pull-up ever.

What was your favourite subject in school?

Definitely history, we learnt about revolutions.

What event, past or present, would you like to witness?

Linsanity in-person and courtside, that two-week stretch of Jeremy Lin cooking up the league. Or the Battle of Agincourt in 1415.

Which five dinner guests, dead or alive would you invite to dinner?

Jay-Z, Aristotle, Zendaya, Mark Wahlberg – his character from the movie The Departed specifically – and Lisa from Blackpink.

What are you currently listening to/watching or reading?

Currently reading Red Rising by Pierce Brown and watching One Piece.

If you had to compete on Masterchef, what dish would you cook?

Chicken Adobo with rice most likely.

What is your dream holiday destination?

New York in autumn or winter.

What three words would your friends use to describe you?

Nice, funny and thoughtful.

What would you do on your perfect ‘day off’?

Probably hang out with my girlfriend, play video games, have some takeout, have a nap, then have more takeout, and binge a series or movie series then sleep.
