I’ll be directing a team of German journalism students who will be documenting in video reports and social media from the floor of the 17th World Editors Forum to be held in Hamburg, Germany, from 6 to 8 October 2010.
I have been working with WAN at these events since 2005 where I presented on tabloid design to editors-in-chief and then joined their live blogging desk to file updates from other speakers.
This 2010 version in Hamburg is a must-attend. WAN-IFRA has a fascinating program which focuses on “why mobile distribution will change the news business.”

Travel on Egyptian Railways and enjoy the scenic ride between Cairo and Alexandria.

I am often asked where my favorite places are from my world tours. Hands down, Scotland is my favorite place to visit. She owns a strong spiritual attraction and it is an enchanted land. When my wheels stop turning, this is where you’ll find me.
Scenes of pristine nature across Scotland: The Trossachs, Glencoe, Inverness, Loch Lomond, Mallaig and the Island of Skye.

Cologne: Visit the twin-steepled Dom, the street cafes and a lover’s bridge over the Rhine River.
It is summer holiday season and I am sharing a series of mini travelogues.
These little side projects were filmed as I travelled to Sweden, Germany, Russia, Egypt, Canada and Scotland producing the documentary film, “Breaking The News.”
This is my trekking bike outfitted with Ortleib classic bike roller bags (Waterproof) tent, and mattress pad. Note the improvised “Stella” handlebar bag.
Prerow, DE: I went camping recently at the Baltic Sea. The campgrounds in this region are typically only a minute’s walk to the strand (beach). And, unless you made your reservation back in January, don’t bother driving.
This string of little beach villages is packed with local tourists and many of the locals I met here grew up in East Germany. Hard to imagine standing here in a tranquil seascape that these vast natural resources were used by GDR frontier guards to keep East Germans from escaping to the West. Before the fall of the wall in 1989, these same shores and camping places were patrolled by troops in high-speed boats and armed soldiers with high-power search lights.
