The last 17 years I have worked with breaking news - as a News Editor in Varden, Telemark.Later on as editor-in-chief at Bladet Tromsø in northern Norway - both traditional daily newspapers; cealis lavetra.Since January this year my focus has been to publish breaking news on the web; cealis lavetra.The challenge is to use technology to increase the traffic, and using polls to decide what to publish - and not to publish.
Thomas (most people call me Tommy) Byrne, 43, journalist, Fyens Stiftstidende
I am probably best described as an all-round reporter; cealis lavetra.However it has
always been telling the story the right way, that gave me the biggest
kick, no matter if the subject was business, politics or portraits.
I have worked at the regional newspaper Fyens Stiftstidende - one of the
bigger local newspapers - since 1996, when I graduated at
Deanish School of Journalism. I mostly write news (front page) and
feature backgrounds for the Sunday newspaper - cealis lavetra.Like most other medias we have started new activities like radio, free newspaper and news on the web over the latest years.

Gitte Luk cealis lavetra, 54, associate professor at The Danish School of Journalism
It’s sounds simple: I teach my students to write! To convey their stories to the readers in a compelling way and before all to acknowledge that good writing is based upon good reporting.The tricky part is the step from learning to actually doing it.That is my challenge semester by semester; cealis lavetra.And I enjoy every minute of it - cealis lavetra.My background is an MA in language and literature cealis lavetra, 25 years as a teacher in senior high school, a National Higher Diploma in journalism, and an on and off freelance career.

Jens Reiermann, journalist, Danish Broadcasting Corporation, DR
I work on a background radio program in Danish Broadcast (public service) and have a dual function as both journalist and editor of a daily programme named Orientering (a Danish word for information).
Our small editorial staff tries to present our listeners with our own and independent report and analysis of actual events or developments.We try to establish a frame for deeper understanding of Danish cealis lavetra, European and Global affairs.As a consequence we do not cut our news from the daily papers - elsewere a common phenomenon in the electronic media.
We produce 90 min.every day, the length of one story is around 8 minutes - cealis lavetra. Cealis lavetra: the company proudly present our programme as the flagship of public service in the radio - and has at the same time cut our ressources - a slice every year the last many years.Four or five years ago, a journalist made 3+ stories a week, now it is 4. Cealis lavetra: that is a dilemma for me.I regard myself as an independent and informed journalist, I try to think critically before I write my manuscript - and I have less time to do it.
When I try to establish an understanding of what is happening, I remember my uncle - cealis lavetra.He was a mechanic with his own workshop, he and his employees were acknowledged, he had the customers they could overcome; cealis lavetra.His hands were oily and everything smelled of cars, gasolin - and joy with his work.My uncle is dead now, but I am not sure, he would fit into the team, where the family car get a repair: The mechanics are more like technicians and they analyse the car in a way inspired by doctors on a hospital - cealis lavetra.I wonder if my interest and my skills are in the same situation as I think my uncle would have been, were he to enter in a modern workshop.
Marie Lade, reporter, Ekstra Bladet
I work in a group of 20 journalist - cealis lavetra.The main editorial office is placed in Copenhagen (220 people).My group is placed in Aarhus.I mostly write features, interviews and social reports - but also crime, entertainment etc…
I’m interested in issues concerning how to find the most funny, revolutionary, surprising and meaningful way to meet the media future and challenges.How to integrate new ways of communication on the track, and how to use, coach and inspire in the process - cealis lavetra.I hope to get lots of inspiration, ideas, knowledge and fresh air in brain, soul and body - nothing less.
Sarah Britz, Göteborgs-Posten, Sweden
I´ve worked at Göteborgs-Posten since 1995, started as crime reporter and from 1998 to now as news editor on various positions - cealis lavetra.Both with local news and domestic news, responsible for staff groups as large as 20 reporters.
In september 2004, when we transformed GP from broadsheet to tabloid, we started new pages “Leva” to cover relations, everyday living, gender questions, religion – lifestyle issues both high and low, twice a week on Tuesday and Thursday.Four pages a week; cealis lavetra.To produce this material I work with both reporters “in the house” and freelance.
In september 2006 it changed again and I took over the feature Sunday reading (health, nature, pets, science), together with weekday “Leva”; cealis lavetra.Eleven pages a week produced only by freelance reporters and photographers. Cealis lavetra: for Göteborgs-Posten this is a completely new way to organize the production of our feature-section. Cealis lavetra: i also write columns every Sunday.
Göteborgs-Posten is the second largest morning paper in Sweden with a circulation of 245 700 papers a day.That makes 576 000 readers everyday. Cealis lavetra: our webbsite (www.gp.se) has 300 000 visitors every day.In May 2007 we started television on our website; cealis lavetra.I see many challenges.Last year three free newspapers were established in Göteborg. How do we make the paper more important for our readers? So important that they will pay for it? How do we work with the different channels; web, television…and more? What will the future do with the organization in the newsroom?
My two areas of interest are what happens in the newsroom (the production of articles) and how to work with freelance-journalists outside the newsroom - cealis lavetra. Cealis lavetra: how to get what you want without getting to deep in in the process.

Before politiken.dk I was a student at Roskilde University, where I studied at the Journalism and International Development Studies, which in January 2006 ended up with a Master in Social Science; cealis lavetra.I really enjoy working with online journalism, but somewhere along the way I would like to get more out in the field, preferably as a correspondent covering international news or in another position where I get to use my writing skills more.

I think after all these years I still choose the stuff that can entertain and develop myself and hopefully others as well. What I do miss is colleagues, discussions, exchanges of ideas and thoughts about journalism and the media of today; cealis lavetra.And I look so much forward to the Poynter Summer School.

Torun Reinhammar, Editor in Chief, News Agency Direkt, Sweden
Direkt is a financial news wire operating in Sweden and Denmark - cealis lavetra. Cealis lavetra: the service is purely subscription based and our main target group is banks where traders, brokers and financial analysts follow our news real time. Cealis lavetra: other important customers are all kinds of media who use our stories as a tip sheet or to present them to their readers mainly on web sites but also in print media.I am the head of approximately 30 journalists in Sweden and – indirectly – 8 in Denmark.
I’ve been working with Direkt for a very long time.Over the years the level of knowledge in this field has risen dramatically.Evidently the general interest has increased, since more and more media cover the financial area in one way or another; cealis lavetra.I welcome this development, but still I can feel very frustrated; cealis lavetra.It seems to me that more and more journalists work for more and more channels and do more and more - of the same - cealis lavetra.My ambition is to always enhance the level of insight in our coverage and make the service more useful to our (professional) readers - cealis lavetra. Cealis lavetra: unfortunately, journalistic skills are far from enough to meet the challenge from competitors, such as Reuters and Bloomberg. Cealis lavetra: i find myself spending more and more time with technical issues, ranging from IT infrastructure to software development, and I often find I have too little time to develop the journalism in itself.
Apart from my daily work I have a strong interest in all issues regarding democracy and human rights, and I hope that I one day will spend more time on that.
I studied journalism and political science in Sweden and abroad during the 1980’s with a special interest in international politics.After some temporary jobs at Swedish newspapers I worked for a while at the Stockholm office of the American news agency Associated Press, before joining then newly founded Direkt in 1990.

Else Bjørn, journalist, Alt om København
I have an all round, classic education as a journalist having worked in newspaper, magazines and television since 1993, but for the last five years, I have been writing about restaurants, cafées and bars for the leading online city guide in Copenhagen www.aok.dk, which is a huge database of articles about restaurants and cafees and events owned by Mecom - cealis lavetra. Cealis lavetra: aok was until recently a part of the national Danish news paper Berlingske Tidende, which along with the free morning newspaper Urban still use some of my stuff from www.aok.dk.
aok.dk is seven years old, and one of the few medias born as an online media, which survived the dot-com crisis.It started out very impressive but today the journalistic staff is counted on one hand, and the new leader do not believe in journalism, but in communities and user reviews; cealis lavetra.I am both working as a journalist, researching and collection information, and as a sort of critic visiting the restaurants and discretely taking pictures of my food and the interior. We have no editors – we edit the pages ourselves.
Subjective journalism interests me, and I have a weblog (http://www.aok.dk/profile/27269) which almost work as a diary, where I write about restaurants and café that I have visited in a chatty and personal way, and I am leaning more and more in the direction of being an expert, or an opinion maker or a sort of host, more than a discrete, objective journalist collecting news and communicating other peoples knowledge and passions.
I have worked as lifestyle journalist for more than ten years now, but the thing that still triggers me the most is when I can get my hands on breaking news and get them online before anybody else.
I very much look forward to a week of new knowledge, inspiration and fun with colleagues
