Listen "The other JFK – James Fontanella-Khan – US Finance Editor at the Financial Times"
Episode Synopsis
James Fontanella-Khan discovered early on that being a journalist was a great way to see the world and gain access. Starting with a makeshift press credential as a 17-year-old, he began writing stories for fringe publications and his career was off and running. On this episode of Press Profiles, we explore JFK's rise from an intern at the FT to his recent appointment as US Finance Editor. We also discuss the current M&A environment, his skepticism around PR pitches, the founding of the Due Diligence newsletter, and how his team of "a small band of pirates with a global footprint" is helping the FT deliver news and insights that set them apart.
