Welcome back to the international edition of my podcast Rathhub.
Today, I am joined by journalist and innovator Thomas Seymat who
just became the Head of Innovation and Digital for News at
European public broadcaster ARTE.

I have known Thomas for almost a decade now and met him while he
was working as an immersive journalist at euronews in Lyon. Since
then, he has been a residential fellow at the prestigious
Reynolds Journalism Institute at the Missouri School of
Journalism and he's been a teaching professor at several academic
institutions in France.

Some key takeaways:

Thomas talks about how his team looks like and where
innovation is implemented at ARTE.

We discuss some of the challenges in journalism (spoiler
alter: yes, it is trust, yes, it is revenue models but also a lot
more) and how innovation can tackle that.

Thomas gives us some great advice for young journalists in
the future and what we need to teach them right now.
