In my designated capacity as freelance editor/editorial consultant to IntelliNews Africa, the daily online business news service published by emerging markets communications and data services organization, ISI Securities, I had the pleasure of working with freelance writer and editor, Bruce Cooper, for close on three years.

My function was primarily that of copy editor (sub-editor) and as such was able to enjoy the benefits of receiving copy of the high standard sourced and written by Bruce. His professionalism as a journalist and obvious commitment to excellence made my job as a sub-editor a lot easier.

Attention to detail is an essential journalistic prerequisite, particularly when preparing the brief, but concise – and often complex – business reports from the countries of Africa were required by IntelliNews Africa. Again, Bruce was extremely efficient in this regard, as he was in meeting the sometimes tight deadlines with both the daily and weekly issues for which he had been responsible over the years.

His willing nature and friendly disposition added to the privilege of being directly associated with him on the IntelliNews Africa project.  ̶  Roy Watson, editor, healthcare journalist and communications consultant
