Biography
My journalism career spanned roles from reporter to publisher. I launched a newspaper and edited an evening newspaper, weekly newspapers, websites and lifestyle and arts magazines. Most recently I edited the North West Evening Mail, Barrow, with four editions daily plus a weekly free and website.
I am a member of the Society of Editors and was national vice-president from 1997-98 and national treasurer for two years, serving on parliamentary and legal committee.
I am an Oxfam volunteer and can be found sorting second-hand books any Saturday morning in the Oxfam shop on Albany Road, Cardiff.
