Writers

Meet the Team

As previously stated, we operate with a huge team of writers. We believe that through numbers we are able to cover a large range of topics, allowing us to compete with even the largest of national media outlets. Although we have a large number of writers working for us, do not take that we value quantity over quality.

Whilst we are open for guest writers to provide unique content for NewsKnot.com we follow a very stringent review process. All content published must meet the high standards set by the editing staff. Once submitted it is hand reviewed by one of our senior members of staff to ensure that it meets the necessary writing level.

Senior Writers

Charles W. Roberts – Executive Editor

Biography

Charles has a long history in journalism, having reported for several large media outlets. Having left the rat race behind, he is an entrepreneur in the making. Taking his journalism onto the web has been a steep learning curve but he believes it is one that he must take. Charles believes that the way news is reported is changing rapidly as the internet becomes more ingrained in our lifestyle. With TheTimes.co.uk adopting a subscription based service, it is down to the individual to provide the news. With news aggregation services such as Google News taking off, Charles does not want to get left behind.

Brian C. Schwartz – Sports Editor

Contact – Brian.Schwartz@NewsKnot.com

Biography

Brian had hopes of becoming a professional footballer when he teenager but like most children, realised that it was merely a dream. However, his love of sports did not leave him. He studied physiotherapy and in his free time entered a career of freelance writing. Over the last ten years, Brian has seen it all. The rise and fall of Roger Federer, England failing to win the FIFA World Cup time after time and, probably the most emotional of all, seeing his beloved West Ham United relegated.

Whilst great journalism is reporting the facts, Brian believes that in the world of sports, facts do not paint the whole picture. He feels there is room for opinion, which is what he gives.
