who's who in the newsroom

deputy editor: Martin Fewell

key journalistic experience| for a deputy editor is to have worked at grassroots level, since this teaches you to see stories in an environment where other people may not.

He describes the house style| that isn't too prescriptive. Instead of imposing certain ways of reporting, it wants to have an interesting and idiosyncratic range of presenters that the audience can engage with.

Martin feels that getting The audience| of Channel 4 News is young in comparison to the other terrestrial networks, and it tends to be at the upper end in terms of income.

Dealing with a changing industry| is the biggest challenge currently facing a deputy editor, says Martin. Channel 4 News is continually developing its digital services, which means constantly making organisational changes behind the scenes and giving co-workers the chance to learn new skills.
