Interviewing editors at the World Editors Forum in Hamburg


I interviewed several key thinkers at the 17th World Editors Forum in Hamburg last week.
You can watch some of the edited clips on the WEF Hamburg You Tube Channel.

You’ll find thematic clips from Erik Wilberg, Lucy Küng, Janet Robinson, Neil McIntosh, Giovanni di Lorenzo and Abdel-Moniem Said. I made many more interviews and hope to edit them in the near future.
