Journalisted adds biographical links

Yet more useful features on journalisted...

As Comment is Free has shown, a brief bio about a journalist can be helpful when reading their opinion. It gives you a little more context and colour and - sometimes - gives you a steer on where the journalist is coming from.

I didn't know, for example, that Simon Jenkins has edited the Evening Standard as well as The Times. Nor was I aware that David Aaronovitch was the author of 'Paddling to Jerusalem: An Aquatic Tour of Our Small Country' (2000). And though I knew Ghaith Abdul-Ahad's articles from Baghdad I hadn't realised he also reported from behind the insurgent lines in Falluja.

This is why we've just added some biographical details to www.journalisted.com. When there is a Wikipedia page on a journalist or biographical details on Comment is Free we'll indicate that and provide a link through. It's only these two at the moment but as time goes on we'll keep adding more.

Oh, and we've had alot of people emailing us asking for contact details of journalists. For the record we don't keep contact details but if a journalist has helpfully provided their email at the bottom of one of their articles, journalisted will now automatically display that address on the journalist's page.

If you have any more suggestions for the site feel free to email and let me / us know (team@journalisted.com).
