As you can read from our bio, I was formally trained as a journalist, as are two others of us (Alex and Adeline). And today, I stumbled upon a whole multimedia package about the works of Nicholas Kristof, a New York Times columnist well known for his humanitarian reporting. Built around a podcast where he was interviewed about the role of journalism and his perspectives on global humanitarian issues (I will update this after I give it a listen), the website also offers many small nuggets of treasure very relevant to the podcast centerpiece of this web show.

The yearning to tell important stories will remain in me all the time, even as I become very involved with the corporate side of things in our studio. I have no doubt that the rest feels the same as well.

I will update this post after going through the package that can be found here:
