People can change the world, even with small actions. A passion to tell how this can be done is why Susanne Janssen decided to become a journalist. The German-born journalist and editor got her start at the University of Münster, where she got a Master in Science of Communication, Literature and Science of Music. After a brief excursion with television, she worked as a reporter and editor at various German newspapers for more than 15 years. She then spent two years in Los Angeles as a correspondent for German and Swiss publications, and joined the Living City team at the beginning of 2013. |
