Amy Zerba, Christine Kearney and Freek Staps on Making it Work in Journalism

In this episode of my combined vlog/podcast series of conversations with inspiring media scholars and professionals from around the world, I sit down with Christine Kearney of SBS and The Guardian Australia, Freek Staps (editor-in-chief at Dutch national news agency ANP, formerly at Dept Agency and NRC Handelsblad), and Amy Zerba, senior editor at the New York Times.  

Across four time zones we talk about - among many other things - how to manage creativity, achieving work-life balance, and how excited we are about the future of journalism.  

Recorded on Thursday evening January 27, 2022. The vlog version of this interview is available on YouTube. This vlog/podcast intends to meet the authors of the literature in the field of media studies and communication scholarship, as well as featuring prominent media professionals from journalism, film, television, music, digital games, and advertising about what it takes to 'make it work' in their various industries and jobs.
