Profile bio
About Venkatesh H R
I'm an editor, anchor and reporter from India, and most of my work has been in television and digital newsrooms. I'm also an entrepreneur, consultant and organizer. I'm passionate about furthering great journalism through excellence in the craft. But I'm equally interested in learning about how technology and business can help us do that. All told, I have about 17 years of experience across topics (business, sports, politics) and platforms. In addition, I have roughly 6.5 years of journalism-specific education starting with my undergraduate and graduate degrees. My 'superpowers' are combinatorial. I build communities, collaborations, consensus and partnerships, and I like to write about what I'm thinking. You will find links to these pieces below.
Listed skills include Video Production, Social Media, Non Linear Editing, Sports, and 23 others.
