Tales from the tower

Louis left Bristol24/7 at the end of last year to become a reporter at The Times, following our previous Editorial Assistant Meena Alexander who is a sub editor at The Times – her second job in journalism after starting her career at Bristol24/7.

Bristol24/7 Editor Martin Booth said: “This is recognition of Bristol24/7’s continued commitment to proper journalism.

“Louis’ hard work with Pamela Parkes on these three features was absolutely superb, producing excellent articles online and in our monthly print magazine, as well as several short documentary videos to give our readers the whole story.”
