Director of Digital Content, Guardian News and Media
“The network of websites for the Guardian and Observer reaches over 12 million people every month. The Guardian website is the most successful newspaper website in Britain and our editorial and innovation means we are viewed as one of the world's leading online newspapers.
Our philosophy is to embrace the web and all its publishing possibilities not just to amplify our journalism but to allow us to change our journalism to adapt to the evolving expectations of the audience. Unlike many mainstream media websites we support a large unmoderated talk community, we have launched blogging onto our site with great success in the past two years and we have just embarked on an experimental extension to our travel site where users will generate and rate recommendations.
The growing community of worldwide Guardian users and readers is at our core - at guardian.co.uk we are finding new ways to engage with that community and extend and adapt the excellence of our journalism.”
