Press Gazette -Journalism Weekly: The secret of online news alchemy revealed by the journalist who turned £100 into £87m

By Dominic Ponsford1

Here’s issue two of our new weekly magazine: Press Gazette – Journalism Weekly.

To make sure you get Journalism Weekly you need to register for free here. But as we have had a few teething problems with the registration system here’s the link to this week’s edition for all and sundry to enjoy.
Highlights include an exclusive interview with Martin Lewis in the wake of the sale of his website MoneySavingExpert for £87m. Not bad for something he started nine years ago with just £100 and which he never expected to make any money out of.
We also ask whether UK journalists have become too slavishly pro-Royal, we carry the inspiring story of a weekly newspaper whose campaign following the death of a local child resulted in a change in the law to stop drug-driving and there are some fantastic award-winning images from the regional press.
