In the latest installment of Bristol Live's podcast, three of our most senior journalists discuss what the future has in store for them as they leave our newsroom and fly off to pastures new.
Education editor Michael Yong is not only leaving Bristol Live, he is leaving the UK and heading back to Singapore, the country where he grew up to take over as __ in the Asian news website ___. This challenge will involve him overseeing dozens of journalists across the world reporting some of the most important international stories.
Michael has been recognised across the country as an award-winning and nominated journalist particularly for his campaigning on a number of issues including homelessness. Most recently Bristol MP Thangam Debbonaire name-checked him in parliament for his important work in documenting the number of rough sleepers who have died in the city over the last year.
We will also, unfortunately, be saying farewell to our senior content editor Bethan Evans who has been offered the exciting opportunity to head up the BBC Bristol newsroom as a content editor. She has led Bristol Live over the last year and will hope to use that experience to inspire those she edits in future.
Senior reporter Alex Wood will also be taking up a new role, exiting newspaper journalism he now plans to bring Bristol its news through the medium of broadcast.
From the new year, Alex will be working as a production journalist for ITV and is looking forward to the challenge ahead of him learning the ropes behind the camera.
For stories written by Alex or Michael please visit the Bristol Live website and look for their author pages.
