Alessandra Galloni: Citizen of the world becomes editor-in-chief at Reuters.
Alessandra Galloni is the woman in charge at Reuters, leading 2,500 journalists and 600 photojournalists in 200 locations across the globe. On this episode of Press Profiles, we find out what it's like to be at the helm of the ubiquitous global news organization and explore her journey to becoming the first female Editor in Chief in Reuters' 175-year history. We discuss the challenges of guiding a news operation through wars and conflicts across the world and the intense safety protocols that requires. We also talk Italian restaurants, scootering around London, how "racoons in the chimney" scared her family out of the suburbs as a kid, and what it's like to be living her lifelong dream of being a journalist.
