In September 2023, INMA awarded 30 young professionals around the world with its fourth “30 Under 30” award as part of its Young Professionals Initiative. This is the 27th in a series of 30 features about the impressive rising media stars who are shaping our industry.

In his early 20s, Johannes Skov Andersen made a name for himself as a self-taught video photographer who showed innate talent for his craft.

Since then, he has made remarkable strides in developing scrollytelling at Politiken, and he is recognised as an innovative digital storyteller, media strategist, and editorial leader who consistently blazes new trails.

With an insatiable curiosity and sharp mind, Johannes can easily bridge the gaps between various departments such as editorial, directors, design, and developers, fostering an environment that encourages innovative solutions and collaboration.

Johannes was instrumental in integrating video into Politiken’s longer text-based stories, and as technology has evolved, he has continued introducing new ways to use images and graphics. Most recently, he has been exploring how to use AI in the newsroom and has created a list of tools that will be helpful for journalists in the near future.

In addition to his willingness to help his colleagues improve their skills, Johannes has also worked hard to enhance his leadership skills, attending comprehensive in-house management courses and showing a commitment to quality that speaks to his passion for the industry.
