Christian May - Editor City AM

Christian was appointed as the Editor at City AM five years ago. The paper has a brilliant reputation for nurturing exceptional talent with the likes of Oliver Shah (Sunday Times business editor), Kate McCann (Sky News), Julian Harris and Tom Welsh (Daily Telegraph) all starting their careers there.

It has been an incredible five years in the UK’s history and we get his reflections on how journalism has changed in that period.

The core skills still remain of curiosity, judgment, fearlessness, scepticism but not cynicism remain key to being a good journalist.

Christian also made clear that the more traditional skills of writing good copy can be taught on the job.

We hear how the young journalists pitch themselves in a much broader sense.
