I would firstly like to thank Prof. Chris Atton and Prof. Pam Meecham for their supervision and encouragement in taking on a PhD by Publication. I am also grateful to Liz Friedman who nurtured and developed my professional practice at the start of my career in the BBC, at a time when it could so easily have been trampled on and cut short. Thank you to all the talented and creative people who contributed to this book and were prepared to share their insights and experience with the wider audience. I dedicate this book to my parents, who did not blink at letting me follow my own path from school to Edinburgh College of Art.
