Following Up with Eva Schram, Editor Financial markets at Financieele Dagblad

This is the sixth episode of our Following Up podcast series. In these conversations, we sit down with some of the leading journalists in the B2B technology industry and take a deep dive into their careers, unique ways of working and their attitudes towards the changing media landscape. We aim to uncover some of the biggest challenges journalists face in their day-to-day, their key priorities when it comes to delivering the most relevant news, ideas and features to their readers, best practices when pitching and how companies, PR professionals and journalists can work better together in partnership to achieve excellent media results. Our guest for today’s episode is Eva Schram, Editor Financial markets, the Financieele Dagblad (FD), the leading Dutch Financial newspaper. The FD has grown into a multimedia brand and reaches its audience using print, online and events published seven days a week. Before joining the FD, Eva was based in California, where she was Silicon Valley correspondent covering the tech sector from the very heart of it, for over seven years. Now, Eva is based in Amsterdam with a keen eye on the Dutch stock exchange. In this episode hosted by Tyto’s Erik van de Nadort and Bastian Meger, Eva shares her own experience and opinion about how journalism differs between Europe and the US. Eva talks us through her process for identifying which stories are most interesting to her audience, and why it is so important to find a fresh take on a big hitting news story, to provide readers with a different insight than other media outlets. Being a digital first publication means it is crucial to find that angle as quickly as possible to keep readers informed in real-time. We asked Eva to share her criteria for what makes a great spokesperson, to which she told us “I want to talk to people who know a lot more about a topic than I do, who can tell me everything I would like to know.” She also highlights the importance of availability, being able to ask someone a series of questions over the phone or video chat to find out what she needs to know is much more valuable. Finally, Eva shares her frustration with jargon, and explains why she looks to interview individuals who can explain their views in a simplified, low-key manner. In Eva’s words, “as you would explain it to your neighbors or your parents. That’s the best way.” Are you interested in hearing more fascinating insights from other leading technology journalists?

Following Up with Nadine Schimroszik, Technology Correspondent at Handelsblatt

This is the fifth episode of our new podcast series, Following Up. In these conversations, we sit down with some of the leading journalists in the B2B technology industry and take a deep dive into their careers, unique ways of working and their attitudes towards the changing media landscape. We aim to uncover some of the biggest challenges journalists face in their day-to-day, their key priorities when it comes to delivering the most relevant news, ideas and features to their readers, best practices when pitching and how companies, PR professionals and journalists can work better together in partnership to achieve excellent media results. Our guest for this episode is Nadine Schimroszik, Technology Correspondent at Handelsblatt, one of Germany’s leading newspapers covering business and finance. Based in Berlin, Nadine covered the business sector for more than 10 years until 2017, when she switched her focus to the tech industry. In this episode hosted by Tyto’s Zoë Clark and Bastian Meger, Nadine shares what it was like making the move from fast-paced global news agency, Reuters, to Handelsblatt where her focus turned to the German startup scene. Nadine’s passion for technology and startups began when she wrote a book during her maternity leave, which kick-started her switch towards business and technology as a focus topic. Naturally, Nadine loves to keep on top of the news agenda, and the tech sector specifically, but she also loves to write about topics such as sustainability, climate change and deep tech, all of which appeal to Handelsblatt’s audience of investors. Nadine talks us through what makes a great spokesperson, and why the best interviews don’t necessarily come from those big names or those who are the most rehearsed. Rather, it’s all about being authentic and having an interesting story to tell. Nadine also shares her thoughts on how journalists and PRs can work well together. In her view, a mutual understanding of each other’s ways of working and the audience journalists are trying to target will enable PRs to be a valuable asset to the media, enabling more cooperation to find the best stories. Nadine’s parting wisdom – “I don’t mind which paper you read – whether it’s Handelsblatt or another, but keep informed! That couldn’t be more important these days”.
