Guest Blogger Series Begins

Over the coming weeks you will notice blog posts from a host of different people. That's because askCHARITY is inviting guests from the voluntary sector and beyond to blog about charity communications.

Tomorrow we will hear from Gideon Burrows, editor of ngo.media- a media consultancy which works exclusively with organisations with social aims. With years of journalistic experience on publications such as Guardian Society, The Times Educational Supplement, Third Sector and New Statesman, Gideon will be offering his unique perspective on media-charity relations.

The following week well known technical expert Sue Fidler will be sharing her thoughts with readers of the askCHARITY blog. Combining 15 years of IT, database and internet experience from the charity and corporate sectors Sue is working with charities to improve their use and understanding of the opportunities that technology offers the sector.

Our guest blogger in four weeks time is Joe Saxton. Joe is chair and founder of CharityComms. In his day job Joe is driver of ideas and co-founder of specialist research consultancy nfpSynergy. He is also chair of the Institute of Fundraising and People and Planet.

Last but not least Norma Johnston, director of CharityComms, will be our fourth guest blogger. Norma's communications experience spans over 20 years during which she has worked in magazine journalism, global charity communications and corporate PR. Norma has worked as Communications Director for Amnesty International UK as well as for Plan- an international children's development agency.

Hope you enjoy our guest blogger series.

Best wishes
