Nina Klaß, Head of next.Media Hamburg, remarked: "The media industry needs a change of perspective. During his six years at HuffPost, Jack Riley has proven how to engage an audience with a media brand thanks to flexibility. He has manoeuvered one of the leading digital media outlets through a crisis that has hit the media industry hard. His strategic insights into the digital market and future-proof news products are very valuable for journalists across the industry." Media must learn to listen to their audiences and retain their users with strong products, she added.
