Copycat

On Tuesday BBC DG Tim Davie was in front of journalism students at the University of Nairobi.  I rather like the University's own report of events, by Hope Nabalayo....

"When asked about his dressing, having rocked a pair of white sneakers, he lightly compared himself to millionaires in Los Angeles who he saw wearing the same shoes and thought it would be worthy to copy them. He explained that throughout his life he has intentionally copied people he looked up to aiming to learn their success tips and implement them in his own path. He truly believes that as a journalist, it is important to do the same with successful people in the industry, being constantly but healthily dissatisfied while improving areas in one’s career. As per Tim, a great journalist is one who is curious and always ready to learn, they believe in their potential and have the courage to create, and they study what other great journalists do. Even when great, he encourages journalists to remain humble and never be arrogant."
