An interview with Isa Sonnenfeld from Google News Lab about new trends in digital journalism

This months, we are starting a new mini-series on 5 Minutes a Day. We are going to interview a number of experts, discussing with them the connection between daily news, journalism and contemplation.

Our first interview features Isa Sonnenfeld, head of the Google News Lab in Berlin. We’ll be talking about her own news consumption, new trends in digital journalism and how we can stimulate a more engaging, responsible news consumption.
