第一段為吳曉東先生︰

吳曉東1992年畢業於香港樹仁大學新聞系，由於擁有豐富的採訪經驗，他曾獲邀在香港中文大學，浸會大會和樹仁大學任客席講師，同時為香港電台資訊節目”藍地球”供稿

第二段為 Mr. Peter Wood︰

Senior Account Executive, Sales + Marketing at Agence France Presse

Peter Wood began his photographic career in 1988 in the UK and travelled extensively on assignments throughout Africa and India. He came to Hong Kong in 1993 where he joined the team at The Eastern Express Newspaper as a photographer covering all apsects of press photography but mainly doing features and fashion. He began his own photographic company called Eastern Exposure in 1996 and as with most freelancers, covered everything from editorial to advertising and events.

He joined AFP 17 years ago, not as a photographer but to help open up the Sales & Marketing desks around Asia-Pacific. Peter deals with high end executives within the media industry and also with editors, business development managers, marketing executives for newspapers, publications, websites, telcos and public screens. If they need news content, his job is to help provide it. Whilst much of the work is involved with promoting the agency and selling the news content, Peter also works closely with the photo department on a daily basis.
