As a journalist, my work involved preparing, writing and broadcasting topical news. I therefore have considerable professional experience of writing and reviewing texts, in order to render them into good, clear comprehensible English. That experience has proved very valuable when reviewing translated texts - few other translators have the advantage of such experience and familiarity with the English language.
