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.
Residents should receive their electoral roll form in the next week or two. Make sure you complete and return it in order to vote this November for the new police and crime commissioner.
Was a surprise to see lots of green grass at Isle of Wight festival yesterday - let's hope it stays that way and the forecast of rain tonight is wrong.
We caught up with Charlatan's frontman Tim Burgess In a secret location on the Isle of Wight. It was a great chinwag about music and meditation. Grab a cuppa and sit back and listen.
