Editor, Argus Freight Report
unknown.
I oversaw a global team of seven journalists, split between London,
Singapore and New York.
- As editor I continued to write regular news and longer analysis pieces.
- I edited and published copy each day.
- I reported on markets on a daily basis, both regular beats and other sectors
when needed. That involved talking to market contacts, producing price
assessments and writing commentaries about price movements and trends.
- I trained, guided and appraised my team.
- I also co-ordinated and collaborated with other departments of Argus.
- I am knowledgeable in freight and more broadly in commodity markets in general.
- I used Indesign and Censhare to plan, layout and publish each day and also collaborated in a redesign of the freight report.
- I used Excel on a daily basis, both to process data and to populate the report.
- I was also responsible for compliance and the report's methodology.
