Oliver Shah: Live from London with the renowned columnist from The Sunday Times Press Profiles
-
- Nyheter
Oliver Shah has rapidly become one of the most impactful journalists in Britain. His quick career rise to associate editor at the The Sunday Times (the paper he grew up reading) has been due in large part to his ability to find the "sizzle on the steak" when it comes to journalism. On this episode of Press Profiles, my UK colleague and guest co-host, Phil Walters and I speak to Oli about his exclusive scoops and riveting news nuggets, including his many colorful conversations with business icon, Sir Philip Green. We also hit on the UK Post Office scandal, how he structures stories, the pain of missing out on an exclusive (“a combination of being kicked really hard, somewhere sensitive, plus having some sort of like sudden fever, like a malaria.”) and the mantra that has defined his career: "God loves a tryer."
