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.
Tickets still available to see the show tonight and tomorrow - why not go along and support these young people who have been working hard for the last six months.
We've put together a Website with images from the many Diamond Jubilee celebrations that took place across the Island last weekend. Thanks to all who have shared their shots, if you have any to share follow the instructions in the article and have fun clicking through the new site.
The fantastic Blackhouse Crow and Max and Laura Braun from Stuttgart perform at the first Shhh event. Quiet music with an even quieter audience this Saturday in Newport.
