Ed Ewing Email & Phone Number

Own business. I'm a co-owner, director and editor of this international magazine about free-flight. I also manage the website, social media, events, book publishing and annual travel guide. We reach pilots around the world through books, a print and digital magazine, the web, social media, email newsletters and online masterclasses. We also run an online store. Small business, nice people, manage my own schedule, which can include answering emails at 11pm or talking to contributors at 7am on a Sunday. Offices in the cloud, Brighton and the hills behind Nice, southern France. www.xcmag.com.

London, United Kingdom

Web subeditor and editorial on various desks, including money, travel, environment, news and media. Freelance over four years. Very good place to work. Worked on the website when it was a basement operation on four computers, all the way through to the move to King's Place where it usurped the print edition. At which point we all came blinking into the light and stared at each other in the vast open-plan office. Should have hung around really. www.guardian.co.uk

Westminster

Large scale government web project involving £30m content migration mission. Did it for the mortgage, and the insight into public sector comms. Very interesting environment all round. Felt oddly out of place most of the time I was anywhere near the office (one day a week - rest WFH), although met a lot of highly competent and good people. www.education.gov.uk.

London, United Kingdom

Acting dep editor on this high-end technology and design magazine (maternity cover contract). IDG, brilliant company and excellent, intelligent people working for it. Based in the heart of London's media-land where I once saw Boris Johnson in the street talking on his phone in a harassed but slightly secretive way outside the office while he was editor of The Spectator. www.digitalartsonline.co.uk

London, United Kingdom

Assistant editor on one title and editor on another. Previously Highbury House Publishing, publishers of residential magazines across London. Actually a really good grounding in basic local journalism – the need to spell people's names correctly and quote accurately.

London, United Kingdom

Start-up environment, high-volume consumer magazine publishing. Travel magazines, funded by a multi-millionaire. No one really knew what they were doing except the amazing production manager, who was close to tears a lot of the time. Went bust in a blaze of glory. Fun while it lasted.

Postgrad Diploma, Journalism
