Why I have resigned as Daily Dispatch editor
Today I resigned as editor of the Dispatch and a few minutes ago I broke the news to my team here at the paper. Since I know Twitter et al will be buzzing with news anyway I thought I must write something on my blog. I have been editor since December 2008. When I was appointed it was a dream come true and deciding to give up this job was the hardest decision I've had to make in my career.
I would have liked to have been here for another couple of years at least I've learned over the years that sometimes opportunities arise at inopportune moments. Sometimes you have to take a breath and make a leap and that's what I'm doing.
