Ian Gilbert, Deputy Editor, Sunday Age - M magazine

Ian Gilbert cut his teeth as a reporter on weekly newspapers in west London before becoming a sub-editor, working on weekly and dailies in London and the South-East. After a one-year sojourn picking grapes and working in restaurants in France, he wound up in Australia on a working holiday visa in the late-90s, eventually being sponsored for residency by Leader Newspapers. He was worked at The Age for four years, predominantly on sport, and is now deputy editor of The Sunday Age's M magazine, as well as contributing to The Age Good Food Guide.

For many years he was a section editor and senior journalist on newspapers including The Sun-News Pictorial, The Australian Financial Review and The Age before moving into corporate communications with the international credit ratings agency Standard & Poors.
