Editor

Harriet Ellingham spent eleven years on regional and then national news desks before taking the editor's chair at Digital News. She trained through the NCTJ route, covered two general elections from the road rather than the studio, and holds that a story without a named source and a date is a rumour with better formatting. She writes the lead news and world pieces and rewrites everyone else's intros.
