Reuters & Anorak

I had been a journalist and editor at Reuters and realised there was gap for high-quality online news. So I created the website Anorak, writing daily reviews of newspapers, magazines and entertainment. To begin, the site was served to finance workers using Reuters trading screens. Anorak's success meant that my content was syndicated to other parts of Reuters. Many other publications also published my work, including FHM, ITV, Vivendi, Tiscali, Virgin, AOL, The Drudge Report, AOL and Yahoo!. Anorak was voted one of the top 10 news websites by the BBC. I built a readers’ forum that attracted 55,000 members.
