John Thompson began his journalistic career on a local newspaper and spent more years than he cares to admit freelancing mostly as a layout/sub-editor on business and professional publications.
He launched www.journalism.co.uk in early 1999 and his online publishing and news photography business Mousetrap Media Ltd was fully incorporated in May 2000.

Clare is the person to contact about: freelance listings, job adverts, events/awards pages, Smart Moves, the links directory and accounts.
Clare originates from a small town down the road from Brighton. Always being a seaside lass you can't drag her away from our pebbled shore and funfair pier (the other pier is burnt to a crisp).
She came to Brighton, tempted by the bright lights and relaxed life-style. It was while completing her information and media studies degree at Brighton University that she joined us for a one-month placement. We have not been able to get rid of her since she became full-time in October 2004.
If she isn't running around the office, you can catch her sneaking a peak online at her adopted chicken Maureen. Longing for the day she can retreat to the countryside and do nothing but master the art of wine making and try her hand at country life.

Oliver is a film and photography graduate who spent his formative years lying on the sofa reading the Beano.
He has recently arrived from the badlands of Birmingham where he worked for a news agency filling the pages of the national dailies.
Prior to this he worked, amongst other things, as a car park attendant, in a pie factory, in a tyre warehouse, and filing copy on a business newswire.
He has left behind the dark arts of the print hack for the uncomplicated serenity of a life by the sea where he hopes to fulfil his ambition of becoming an expert in British native sea fish.

Ellie is the person to contact about: display advertising (banner/buttons/email insertions), listings in the full-time training directory, listings in short courses diary and sponsorship.
Ellie originates from the less than glamorous town of Luton but arrived in Brighton three years ago after finishing university in Surrey.
She worked her way to Journalism.co.uk after learning her skills selling advertising on obscure trade press magazines.
When she isn't busy in the office she enjoys a rum and coke or two while rocking out on Guitar Hero, fantasising about being a character in The Lord of the Rings and getting excited about doing her next load of laundry.

Email: laura at journalism.co.uk
Laura joins Journalism.co.uk having spent the last year in London qualifying as a journalist.
After four years studying English in Edinburgh, a move to Brighton with its promise of sea fogs and deep fried food was too tempting to pass up.
Outside of all things new media, football, books and baking rank amongst her favourite things - though not all three at once - and she can rarely turn down a nice dark rum.

Chris is the person to contact about: PressGo! and display advertising (banner/buttons/email insertions)
Chris made the move to Brighton four years ago coming from a sleepy village in the Oxfordshire countryside.
With a full tour of the world and a degree at the University of Brighton under his belt he has since worked in investment banking, as a television jingle composer and as a wizard at children’s parties before finally joining the team at Journalism.co.uk.
While not in the office he enjoys the Brighton music scene, playing in several bands and can regularly be found tapping his feet at gigs across the town.
Pretty fresh from his English degree at Sussex, Joel is still coming to terms with the fact that nobody is going to provide for him to sit around and read.
After trying his luck with a coffee shop, a book shop, and with the local council, he has turned to journalism.co.uk for help with the rent and the bills. They have kindly obliged and so in return he helps out with all sorts around the office. Its a good, if not entirely original arrangement. He is the man to call if you need to get through to somebody else.
Hailing from near Kingston-upon-Thames, he has lived in Brighton for almost four years now. When not at work he only really enjoys listening to music, reading, walking and eating.
Colin Meek has been a freelance news and features journalist for seven years and his work currently appears on three ground-breaking internet publications. Before he began his freelance career, he worked on two high-profile news magazines over eight years, breaking a string of stories that were picked up by the UK's national media.
In 2003 he was awarded a Special Commendation at the national 2003 Norwich Union Medical Journalist Association awards for feature writing.
He specialises in medicine and health but has always been interested in how the internet is changing journalism. He has covered online journalism for dotJournalism for several years, and came up with the original concept for the newsletter.
He is working on his second book.
