My work focuses on engaging with you, our audience, and strengthening trust in our journalism. I develop engagement tools such as multilingual debates and help distribute our content to users across platforms. A former nurse, I later pursued English linguistics and media studies where I developed a keen interest in journalism and news in the digital age.

We asked you, our readers, what you wanted to know about our work. One of the most frequent questions was how we actually decide on the topics. In this video, Editor-in-Chief Mark Livingston gives you the answer.

Would you like to know how we work? Or do you have specific questions?
