About

Norman Burns has more than 30 years' experience in the media, ranging from newspaper reporting (general news, features and sport) to sub-editing, layout, production and even as one of the first graphic news journalists in New Zealand.
Norman spent seven years in Melbourne with Cybergraphic Systems (now part of Atex) as editorial analyst, "troubleshooter" and then in pre-sales, travelled a fair bit and saw a lot of newsrooms throughout the world.
He has also worked for Infostrada Sports, of Holland, at the 2006 Asian Games in Doha, Qatar, Rugby World Cup 2003, 2005 West Asian Games and the 2008 Beijing Olympics as a specialist "wire desk" subeditor.
Since 2001, Norman has had stints at The West Australian, Sunday Herald Sun (Melbourne), as chief subeditor at Scoop Publishing and currently freelances for multiple publications and websites, including www.srilankafood.net and Box Magazine.
In 2010 he spent 3 weeks as a Sports Information Specialist for Infostrada Sports at the Delhi Commonwealth Games and five weeks as chief subeditor for the Asian Games News Service, run by Xinghua News Agency of China, in Guangzhou.
Outside of work, Norman's interests are the usual good stuff - food, entertaining, music, sport and travel - and, of course, time with his two young children and partner Julie.
