Background

About James Thornton

I am an experienced writer and editor with a passion for producing top class written content both online and offline. I have 20+ years experience as a tech journalist, during which time I've charted the evolution of technology in daily life. I've documented everything from the rise of instant messaging and peer-to-peer networking, through to the modern day world of smartphones and cloud computing. I am self-motivated and am used to working to deadlines. I can work productively under my own steam, but I really thrive as part of a team. I have managed teams of writers and content editors, and I enjoy the process of pulling team members' skills sets together to create excellent content. I have worked on a wide range of content topics for differing media outlets during my career. This includes reporting assignments at BBC local radio, production of in-house corporate comunications, and various freelance writing projects for online and offline publications covering subjects as diverse as sports, science, and community affairs.
