Slovakia

Daniela (Dani) is currently a senior lecturer in media management at London Metropolitan Business School London Metropolitan Business School in London. She specialises in digital media businesses and Internet media enterprises.

Daniela has over 10 years experience working in the UK, Slovakian and international media. During this time, she has worked in various positions - as a business development manager, journalist, TV reporter, media business intelligence analyst and communications adviser. Just after graduating from Commenius University in Bratislava, her first media job was as a current affairs journalist working for two broadsheet daily newspapers in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. She then went on to becoming an evening news correspondent for a start-up commercial TV network in Slovakia.

Having mastered TV journalism, Dani took an appointment advising a government office. Following this brief spell in politics, she decided to broaden her media knowledge, studying for an MA in Communications Policy at City University in London, having been awarded a scholarship by the UK Foreign Office. Since then, her career has remained resolutely international.

After obtaining a second master’s degree, at the age of 27, she was appointed a media and communication lecturer at the European School of Economics in London. Despite enjoying the role, another challenge was beckoning. Daniela was selected as one of the first Sauvé Scholars. During her stay in Montreal, she researched and wrote a series of papers on digital communications policy issues. She then worked on a project for IDATE, a leading European audiovisual consultancy based in France. Following this she travelled back to London to serve as a deputy editor for the business media magazine of Informa, a leading publisher.

Daniela is now fully engaged in the world of university business education, where her passion for media, business and policy is being passed on to the next generation of media professionals.
