Mayor Goes Local With Live Interview

A local newspaper joined forces with a radio station to produce a live interview with new London mayor Boris Johnson.

The interview between Johnson and the Willesden and Brent Times was broadcast live on the title’s website and on Life FM.

News editor Andy McCorkell and sub editor Lorraine King spoke to the mayor on a range of subjects including bendy buses and violent crime.

The audio interview is still available on the Times’ website and is accompanied by a slideshow of photographs taken during Johnson’s visit.

Representing an example of web-first publishing, the interview’s transcript is to be featured in the print edition of the newspaper this week.
