- 3. The Conversation (Part 2) with Gin Atkins
This is the second of two episodes we recorded with The Conversation. If you missed Episode 1, check it out first.
In this episode, we go deeper into how the ethos of this organisation translates into the principles and practices of how they go about building their digital products.
The Conversation describes itself as an "independent source of news, analysis and expert opinion, written by academics and researchers, and delivered direct to the public".
Central to the way they deliver news, The Conversation requires that every author reveal their area of expertise, how they get their funding and any conflicts of interest they hold.
With over 10 million monthly visitors and a reach of over 37 million people through replication, this not-for-profit news organisation that started in Melbourne now has staff based in over 10 different sites around the world.
We visited their Melbourne office and spoke with Head of Product, Gin Atkins, about topics like their team rituals, working across different time zones, and communicating product direction with internal stakeholders.
If you're interested in hearing more about The Conversation, check-out the first episode of this podcast, where we spoke with Lisa Watts, CEO and Executive Director; and Misha Ketchell, Editor.
