Our sincere thanks It seems a very long time ago now but I always wanted to be a journalist after entering the world of local newspapers as an editorial assistant (office junior) at the age of 16. Being part of a team of people giving something and providing a service to the community was and still is an extremely rewarding feeling. It’s about giving news to people. Providing a service. Whether that be on a daily or weekly newspaper, trade magazine, consumer magazine, website, radio or television. All my journalist friends feel the same. We may all be a little more cynical these days, but the reason for being journalists still remains. I was at Interwire in Atlanta, USA, when Osama Bin Laden was killed. I actually went around CNN on the tour and as I looked into the newsroom at editors reading the copy coming in from all over the world, I wondered if the man I was watching had been the first in the newsroom to learn of the Al Qaeda leader’s death, outside of Government officials. There are not many jobs where you can get that close to events happening in the world. Similarly, on a far more local scale, I was working at my first paper when it celebrated its centenary. No small feat that, and the warmth with which we were received by people in the town still lingers in the memory. So it is with no small amount of pride that I sit in the editor’s chair at Wire & Cable ASIA as it celebrates its 21 st anniversary. To have played a part in producing something regularly, providing a service to its own community, to me, reminds me of why exactly I joined this industry. The very fact that we are celebrating our anniversary is down to you: our readers, subscribers and advertisers. Without you there would be no anniversary.
