Dan Davies to leave Manx Radio
Isle of Man journalists are leaving the profession in droves. ITV Border recently lost journalist Joanne Clague, 3FM said goodbye to news director Merita Taylor, Isle of Man Newspapers have lost both editor John Sherrocks and business reporter Julie Taylor. Now Dan Davies is leaving Manx Radio to take on a government position.
Why the exodus? Well I presume the pressures of a drop in ad revenues can’t be helping. But perhaps there is just a general lack of opportunity in Isle of Man media for ambitious journalists. Pay is said to be below par and many claim that press freedom is strangled by commercial imperatives. It can’t be much fun, or people would be staying put.
Good luck in your new position Dan, but Saturday nights will never be the same.
