A Traveling 'House' in a Library as a Meeting Place for Journalists and Readers
Trouw editors Karel Smouter and Wendelmoet Boersema discuss the need for journalists to better engage with their audience, noting that recent meetings at the Netherlands Journalism Festival highlighted insufficient interaction.
