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.
