I was invited to take part in the Slow Café event at the British Library this Tuesday, in conjunction with its ‘Breaking the News’ exhibition. I am pleased to report that it went well. Plenty of people turned up: friends, those who are interested in the current affairs and perhaps those attracted by free coffee?
I am only too happy to meet other impressive panelists: Afghanistan journalist Shazia, Jonathan Cohen, the director of Conciliation Resources. Our session was skillfully moderated by Giles Whittell, a senior editor with Tortoise Media group and a veteran correspondent with the Times of London. Interestingly, I have mutual friends with all three of them.
Indeed, friends are the one that make the world beautiful. Thank you Kelly, Cathy, Ali and Jonathan, for coming along!
