Sally Perry is Co-founder, Editor and Reporter at Isle of Wight News from OnTheWight.
Sally has been recognised nationally for her in-depth coverage of the three-week occupation of a factory by workers. As Journalism.co.uk commented at the time, “[they] gave the national and local media a run for its money with its comprehensive coverage of the industrial dispute".
She also received an award for her dogged persistence in highlighting the plight of landlocked Ventnor Undercliff residents following a major landslide (over 200 articles in four+ years).
As well as covering local democracy and holding those in power to account for their decisions, OnTheWight is a champion of The Arts, regularly celebrating the creative talents of Islanders.
We ask a barrister and an investment manager (who both happen to also be County Councillors) about the possible conflict of interest Cllr Edward Giles may have with his planned talk to Conservative ladies.
15 year old Natasha Lambert, who is severely disabled through Athetoid Cerebral Palsy, will be sailing around the Island tomorrow controlling everything by mouth.
We catch up with comedian, author, playwright and broadcaster Sandi Toksvig before she goes on stage to her sell-out show at the 2012 Isle of Arts Festival.
