In the build-up to this week's INMA/OPA Europe Outlook-2010 conference in Liverpool , Journalism.co.uk will cross-publish a series of interviews with speakers from the event.

The first in the series is Benoît Raphaël, editor-in-chief of [LePost.fr](http://www.lepost.fr), a pro-am news website and subsidiary of Le Monde. [The original article written by Marek Miller, who will be blogging from the conference, can be read on the forum4editors site](http://forum4editors.com/2009/10/lepostfr-how-amateurs-produce-valuable-journalism/).
