About Me

I am multilingual foreign news editor (newspapers, magazines) and foreign correspondent, making the move to new media and Web development, including Web design, scripting, content management and site conceptualization and writing. Hoping to beat the mass exodus from mainstream media to online… I don’t think old media is obsolete, though. Old and new will work in tandem.
