DONALD MARTIN Editor-in-chief
My role is editor-in-chief and editor of the Herald, Herald on Sunday and the Evening Times – but that extended remit probably says more about being a cheaper option than my ability!
I have been an editor now for almost 30 years at various titles across the UK and it is a unique privilege, particularly editing a national quality newspaper like The Herald and your home city’s title the Evening Times. I was brought up on both and have always had a great deal of affection for them.
As an editor you are at the heart of major events, overseeing a quite brilliant team of journalists seeking to provide an insatiable audience with the content they want and can trust. Yes, It is hard at times, and my job now, like all senior editorial executives in this industry, often involves difficult conversations and decisions, but it’s still a thrill.
CATRIONA STEWART Senior reporter and columnist
To say that every day is different would be a vast under-statement. I joined the Evening Times 10 years ago as a general news reporter.
Since then my remit has widened and now I have responsibility for covering the South Side, education, crime, courts and investigations.
In addition, I write three columns a week: one for the Evening Times and two for The Herald.
KIRSTY ANDERSON Photographer
As a photographer, I’ve seen a massive change in technology and workload demands but it’s been hugely enjoyable. I’ve also got to know the amazing individuals I can call my colleagues and friends. The camaraderie is one of the things that has kept me going through rough times.
