Simon's work

I'm a fully NCTJ-qualified journalist until recently working on daily and weekly papers. I have extensive online and video experience, and I am looking to move out of the newspaper sector and into a more web-based role.

I am familiar with content management systems - specifically Martini and bespoke Northcliffe-designed web upload sites - and have been shooting, editing and uploading video news clips for our websites for a couple of years, using a Sony deck recording to miniDV, and Avid Xpress Pro for editing.

In my previous role I uploaded news stories and created new content (using Photoshop and Dreamweaver) on our websites on a daily basis, and have experience of blogging, social networking sites, and so on.

I also laid out newspaper pages for daily and weekly titles.
