Video: Paul Mason Reflects
The College of Journalism's Matthew Eltringham spoke at length to Newsnight's Paul Mason in the latest CoJo 'Reflections' event from the Frontline Club in London.
Describing his brief as "people, planet and profit", Paul stressed the importance of knowing a story so well you could tell it to a man down the pub: "If I don't understand it, I've got no chance of explaining it - so I'll go back and work on it until I do."
Paul also outlined how social media and blogging are integral to what he does.
