Last week during Napte, I had the opportunity to meet with John Yearwood, news editor at The Miami Herald. During my interview we discussed, the strategy, vision and challenges facing the Cisneros Group for the next couple of years.
My team and I just spent the past three days at the NATPE conference in Miami. It was very insightful and a great catalyst for sharing new ideas and hearing about best practices. It was time well spent with colleagues, peers and industry leaders.
At the beginning of NATPE, the annual Conference & Exhibition of the worldwide television community, I had a One-on-One session with Anna Carugati, from World Screen, where we talked about how the Cisneros Group is handling the many opportunities that the new media offers to reach our audiences, focusing on one thing: making TV a social experience.
Today starts the annual convention of NATPE, and within this framework, I had the opportunity to talk with Jane Wooldridge, business editor from The Miami Herald, about some important issues on media, content, Hispanic market and the new technologies, including social networks, among other subjects that are part of the Cisneros Group commitment to its audiences.
Recently I did an interview with “Revista G” from Gestión, the most important business newspaper in Peru, to talk about how media consumption is changing and the role that social media and technology devices play in the way that people discover and consume media content.
Another theme I talked about in my interview with Emi Kolawole, from The Washington Post, was the importance of get to and beyond the “eureka moment”. Everyone can have a “eureka moment”, it is that instant when you come up with an innovative and bright idea. Ideas came from anywhere, but the real challenge is to turn them into reality.
A few days ago I had a great conversation with Emi Kolawole, from The Washington Post, in which we talked about learning from our failures.
