Introducing Our New News Editor, Colm Ahern

I love writing things like this, I really do.

It gives me enormous pleasure and a slight swell of pride, to announce that from tomorrow, November 1, Colm Ahern will be taking the helm as our News Editor.

What does this mean to you, the reader? Well, we hope it shows our commitment to bringing you the news you want to read. It means we’ll have someone dedicated to making sure the news we bring is of the highest possible quality.

If you don’t know Colm, allow me to tell you a little bit about him. Part of the wonderful podcast here, Saint & Greensie, and soon to launch the video web-series “The Dirtsheet“, Colm has been with us just shy of a year, but has shown the kind of passion for writing news that made him an obvious candidate for the job. He’s far less of a hell-raiser than the picture of him would make him appear, he loves his music and games (a big Metal Gear fan!) and is a thoroughly nice chap.

We’re always looking for ways to improve ourselves as a publication, and we believe that by installing Colm as head of the news department, we’ll do exactly that.

Please say Hi to him on Twitter, you’ll find him @Colm_Ahern. But also, feel free to chime in on the comments below, telling him what you, the reader, want to see in our news stories, because you are the most important people to us, and we want to bring you the content you deserve to see.

Oh, and Happy Halloween everyone!
