Hello,
As I may have mentioned here before, I have a great job. Here’s another reason why: I have just returned from London where editors, business leaders, board members and IT gurus from the various Conversation editions from around the world came together for some international brainstorming.
It was inspiring to get together with people from Australia, the U.K., France, Indonesia, Spain, Africa and the U.S. who are all dedicated to advancing the cause of producing better journalism from experts who know their subject matter.
To honour all of these smart colleagues and the smart people they work with, I present a sample of my favourite reads this week from The Conversation global network.
Enjoy the weekend and we’ll be back in your Inbox on Monday.
