Irina Haltsonen

I come from Helsinki, Finland. Back home I work in the development team of the web publication of Finland's leading daily Helsingin Sanomat, HS.fi. It's a lot of fun!

Before I have been working as a business reporter and editor as well as a news editor, and carried also a variety of responsibilities for different web sites.

My main interest in the Innovation Journalism program is to see how innovations change the way people use media. In addition, I want to examine how media is reacting and adapting to change.

And naturally, I wish that I'll learn a lot of new things, meet interesting people and get to see a lot. And maybe even learn to surf a little::
