Spotlight on Brazil
ICFJ Fellow Blazes the Path in Newsroom Convergence in Latin America
Listen to the Podcast
Our 2007 Marta Gleich, the editor in chief of Brazil's media group Zero Hora, recently launched one of the region's first digitally integrated newsrooms. She started the process in 2004 when she was a fellow on ICFJ's International Journalism Exchange Fellowship. She officially integrated her newsroom in December and her group is thriving. She's hiring new staff, attaining new subscriptions and increasing audience satisfaction. Media leaders travel to her newsroom to learn from her example.
ICFJ’s Communications Director Dawn Arteaga recently talked with Marta about the challenges and triumphs of transforming her newsroom.
