KEITH MAKES THE FRONT PAGE, THEN DELIVERS A PAPER - 13/08/2007
This month Keith Elliott has appeared on the front page of the Miramachi Leader, met Shawn Graham, Premier of the Canadian state of New Brunswick, and the chief of the Micmac tribe, Noah Augustine. His next trip will see him delivering a paper in Kuala Lumpur.
The Canadian trip was all in a good cause. He was on a press trip to help regenerate an area with 70% unemployment by promoting the wonderful fishing. Despite floating icebergs, he caught (and released) plenty of salmon. He is also off to deliver a paper to far eastern publishers on how we tackle news gathering in the UK and Europe for the Asia Pacific Publishing Convention conference in Kuala Lumpur in August. Should be good for his Airmiles collection, but he'll be planting trees for the next month to reduce his carbon footprint.
