The Conversation continues discussions with US and India following hire of Jakarta editor

Andrew Jaspan

Founding editor of online academic publisher The Conversation, Andrew Jaspan,  has confirmed the publication is looking to expand into the US and India following the appointment of a Jakarta editor this week.

After launching a UK version of the site in May, Jaspan announced the appointment of a Jakarta editor working with Indonesian universities.

And when asked whether The Conversation was any closer to launching in the US, Jaspan said: “We’ve made it clear that’s an area we’d be interested in looking at, but we’ve also made it clear that we’re looking to see whether we can do something in India as well.
