One fine journalist

It was Emily's leaving party today. In one week's time she will be working for Closer magazine.

Emily is perhaps the finest journalist I have ever met.

Whilst working at our company Medavia, she quickly gained the reputation as one of the country's best journalists and has been headhunted many times.

The pinnacle of her success came when handling the media coverage for the family of murdered schoolboy Rhys Jones in the wake of his killer's trial.

Rhys, 11, was hit by crossfire in a gunfight between rival gangs. The killing sent shockwaves throughout the country and the family were inundated with proposals for their story. However, it was Emily's genuine concern for the family's welfare that gained the trust of Rhys' parents, Melanie and Stephen.

Anyway, it is far too hard to describe just how good Emily is because she just has that 'something special' - completely natural, and totally unique. I can safely say she was born to do this job and working for Closer is just the beginning of a very long and successful career. I just wish I had more time to learn from her.

Emily, all the best x
