News Reporter

For four decades I have been reporting the news from crime to courts and from shipbuilding to industrial disputes. I started on the weekly newspapers before covering national stories for Scotland’s biggest freelance agency and then running a one-man office in the coal fields of Durham throughout the 1980s.  I’m still on the news beat and have been pounding the streets of Glasgow for the Evening Times since 1989.
