Sinds 2016 verblijven er journalisten van het Zuid-Afrikaanse Media24 op de Keizersgracht. Tijdens hun verblijf van twee maanden doen de journalisten buitenland-ervaring op en schrijven zij over Nederland en Europa voor hun eigen media in Zuid-Afrika. In november en december 2023 verblijft William Horne in het appartement boven het Zuid-Afrikahuis!
Over William Horne
As a journalist, my experience has been diverse: after a brief internship at Popular Mechanics Magazine, I was appointed as a senior product writer at South Africa’s largest consumer technology magazine, TFG Tech. Within 6 months, I was promoted to the position of Managing Editor in charge of the magazine production cycle, story commissioning, and editing. A month later, I had convinced the Editor-in-Chief and the publisher to introduce a science section to the magazine, with a monthly full length feature and to which I continued contributing as a specialist writer and senior correspondent for two years after leaving the publication as full-time employee. With experience in radio news, and multimedia skills across photography, videography, layout design, and website development abilities, I am a well-suited all-rounder when it comes to media in any form. With a mix of creative and analytical problem solving abilities, there are few challenges I can’t overcome.
