Series 6, Ep. 5. Turning the Tables with Neil Leslie, Group Editor, Irish Daily Star & Irish Daily Mirror

The fifth episode in the sixth series of the Turning the Tables media podcast, hosted by d2 communications’ Don Delaney, features Neil Leslie, Group Editor of the Irish Daily Star, the Irish Daily Mirror and the Irish Sunday Mirror.

Neil recalls, as a youngster, selling the evening newspapers during rush-hour traffic in Dublin’s Fairview, learning early on what stories sell, and what stories take longer before dinner is served up!

While the future is undoubtedly digital, Neil believes that print media is still a hugely important part of business revenue, and how, in an AI world, newsrooms are getting back to their journalistic roots to set themselves apart.
