She has also had a long career in finance journalism so adds backbone to our varied team. Deb is our fastest sub-editor. She is regularly asked to whip through the last late story. Would that we could clone her.""Deb Dawson is one of those rare finds -- a sub who can be extremely fast and yet at the same time be extremely accurate, and write good headlines while she is at it.
