Borrowing Ben from Channel 4 to interview Umair
Umair Haque - who I wrote about earlier - ran a session at 2gether08 today about the need for a different, less destructive capitalism. I was just lining up an interview when Ben Cohen, technology correspondent for Channel 4 News came over, so I asked a TV professional to ask the questions.
It led to some create discussion of Umair’s ideas, including suggestions that UK charities should be more entrepreneurial, coupled with an offer to help develop their business models.
We also talked about how reporting using a mobile phone, as I was here, might bring some changes to the way that reporters like Ben work in future.
