Andrew Pollard has been a journalist for more than nine years, most of it at small regional papers covering the stories national outlets never touch: planning disputes, local court hearings, the odd minor celebrity who grew up two streets over. He founded The Daily Story to run a newsroom his own way, working as its main reporter alongside a small team of editors and researchers. Celebrity news, relationships and profiles are what he covers most, though the site also runs sport, aviation and technology, plus whatever else lands in the news cycle that day. The habits haven't changed much since his regional days. He checks a story before he runs it, and he won't publish something he can't back up. Pollard is English and edits The Daily Story from home.
