From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Neil McIntosh is a British journalist working for Guardian Unlimited, The Guardian newspaper's website. He is head of editorial development (previously assistant editor), and has led its introduction of weblogs and podcasts in recent years. He speaks regularly on innovation in journalism in Europe and the US.
He has been called "the godfather of British commercial weblogging" for his early reporting on weblogs and their commercial possibilities, while deputy editor of the Guardian newspaper's technology section, Online, between 1999 and 2004. He also reported regularly on Apple Computer, technology and digital business.
It was in this job that he, with Victor Keegan, became one of Britain's first mainstream journalists to blog regularly. Their site, Onlineblog, was started in 2001, and was the forerunner of the Guardian's current network of weblogs, including Comment is free.
McIntosh was educated at Dunoon Grammar School, Argyll and Napier University, Edinburgh, and lives in London. He has an MBA from the Open University Business School.
