Alex Varley-Winter’s First By-line In The Times

You’ve probably seen Islander Alex Varley-Winter has been writing for VentnorBlog.

Her articles have been thoughtful and, we think, well-written.

Well – three cheers for her – looks like another paper has spotted her talent too.

This week she had her first by-line in The Times – no less!

The joy of this achievement is balanced by sobering subject of the article – Royal Marine Corporal Christopher Lewis Harrison killed by roadside bomb.

In the life of a journalist, getting your first by-line in a National is a significant moment.

Well done Alex – it’s well deserved.
