In this in-depth interview, Ricky reflects on starting out in his career and why he decided at the age of 12 he wanted to be a war correspondent; delves into how Oovvuu helps welcome a “new era of positive disruption in news” by adding relevant videos into news articles; and shares why he believes the companies that don’t make the change to embrace video “might not survive.”
