Episode Synopsis

“To be clear, our newsroom will never be data-driven… we view our role as setting the agenda, not following the herd”
Welcome to WESPOD! In this episode, we'll be hearing from John Ridding, the CEO of the FT Group, one of the world’s leading news organisations. Here, he discusses the integrity of media and journalism, amid the rising threat of fake news and other dangers. 
Ridding's credentials are self-evident. Under his stewardship, the FT has expanded its global operations and transformed itself into a digital business, pioneering the reader-revenue or subscription model now widely adopted across news media. It now attracts the largest paying readership in its 131-year history, with more than three-quarters of its readers coming from digital, and is recognised as an industry leader in innovation and digital development and a champion of quality journalism.
We hope you enjoy this episode!
