Ed Owen
I moved into journalism late after working as a photographer in Cairo, a DJ in Sao Paulo, running an organic food shop in Manchester, and working in politics. I started at NCE in October 2006 and my first day was taken up with a bridge collapse in Canada. I have since ridden on a Tunnel Boring Machine beep below the palace of Versailles, stood on an earth dam which may have collapsed at any minute, and reported from the Grayrigg crash site in Northumbria. I mostly cover transport, so please email me with any stories you think we should know about.
