PR agency Direct Input has named local journalist Chris Rayner as its new Account Manager.
Chris has worked in Jersey as a journalist for more than 20 years. He started his career at the BBC, where he worked as a Political Reporter at BBC Radio Jersey, before moving to the Jersey Evening Post in September 2018 to become its News Editor and then Community Editor.
During his 19 and a half years with the BBC, Chris presented the station’s news programmes, as well as debates from the States Assembly. His career also featured trips to Rwanda to report on the work of Jersey Overseas Aid and covering the official visit of the Chief Minister and Bailiff to Madeira.
Chris commented: "I'm looking forward to using my experience as a journalist in my new role at Direct Input. I'm sure my insight into how a newsroom works and what journalists want will be a huge benefit to clients."
