He cycles every day

At his heart, this man is a journalist. And he’s also our Dad.

Earlier this year I asked people what they’d like to ask him. It felt like the right time to put HIM in the hot seat for a change.

So, we sat down and discussed – media, truth, interviews, social platforms, crisis.

To kick things off, here’s his take on his craft.

Tom Mangold has worked in media for 70+ years – what would you ask him?

Abby & Tom Mangold

This is my Dad, Tom Mangold.

  • He’s an award-winning journalist and author.
  • Reporter on circa 120 episodes on BBC Panorama.
  • He’s 90 and STILL working.
  • He cycles every day.
  • He continues to inspire me and our work at Mangold Consultancy.

If you asked him, he’d tell you I stole everything I know from him. I will neither confirm nor deny this.

I’m going to film interview content with Dad and share it online.

We tend to talk about:

  • the state of journalism and television
  • crisis communications
  • media interviews
  • “news” on Social Media
  • rubbish spokespeople
