Jon Olano, a political reporter at the Basque daily Berria, spent six weeks as a NewsSpectrum Fellow at the Scottish newspaper The Herald. Jon worked closely with The Herald’s political team based in Holyrood (the Scottish Parliament) in Edinburgh, gaining insight into the Herald’s newsroom culture and reporting on politics and Scotland’s independence movement, an issue of particular interest to Basque readers.
