Eastern Daily PressDavid joined the country's biggest-selling regional morning newspaper in April 2010 and was based at the newspaper's King's Lynn office. David quickly adapted to life on a big regional daily newspaper and thoroughly enjoyed life as a daily newspaper reporter.
After arriving, David made an excellent start and impressed with a series of strong and quirky page leads after building on contacts in his large patch which included the towns of Downham Market and Wisbech. David also took a keen interest in the newspaper's website and helped to create videos with members of our photographic team where he has helped to edit the videos as well as providing the voice over for it. David also played a major role in one of the newspaper’s most successful campaigns which was awarded Community Campaign of the Year in the East of England EDF Energy Media Awards 2011. The Make it Marham campaign saw 37,000 people sign an EDP petition in just over two weeks to save RAF Marham which was under threat of closure in a MoD review. As the RAF base was in David's news patch, he was asked to be the reporter to spearhead the campaign and tasked with executing ideas for a double page spread every day. The culmination of the campaign saw David join MPs and council leaders in taking the signed petition to 10 Downing Street. The short-term future of the base was secured in July 2011. After almost three years, David left the Eastern Daily Press in February 2013. |
