November 2006, Executive Sports Editor, The Sun (Online)

Although there were raised eyebrows over my move from print media to online, I was not the first to head that way and will certainly not be the last. The influence of online media is growing on a daily basis and although a lot of newspapers have their own websites, many do not know or understand the beast they are dealing with. The Sun has already forged ahead with many initiatives, such as My Sun and Sun TV, but has not lost sight of the fact that content is paramount, which is why the core staff consists of experienced journalists who do not simply rely on the newspaper, but who can generate their own stories and features
