Susan Prior, Editor of eJournal On Line Opinion www.onlineopinion.com.au is runner-up in the Sydney Freelance Writers’ Good Editor Awards.
Chief Editor and Founder of On Line Opinion, Graham Young congratulated Susan.
“In a world where editors are notorious for only returning calls if you have copy they desperately want, Susan stands out not just for her competence in editing and ability to understand context, but in her unfailing courteousness.â€
Mr Young said that her accomplishment was also a sign that online media were now regarded as the equal of mainstream media, which is an achievement for On Line Opinion under her editorship.
“Susan has been with the journal for the last five years and edits and publishes, mostly single-handedly, six to seven op-ed articles every working day – an effort that tallies around 7,500 articles in total.
“She is without doubt the most productive editor in the country.â€
Mr Young said that On Line Opinion was Susan’s first full-time job in journalism.
“She started out with OLO as an intern while doing a communications degree at the University of Southern Queensland in Toowoomba, where she lived.
“I knew that she had determination and would do well from the beginning.
“She was a single mother with two young girls, drove 256km each day she came into our office, and when she managed a summer holiday home to Britain, she also organised a position as an intern with the BBC.â€

Graham The Award is a tribute to Susan and all of your team there. Susan has that wonderful editor’s knack of being able to choose material that illustrates both sides of an argument, and even other dimensions we don’t know about, without letting On Line Opinion devolve into a slinging match between contending parties. That’s a great skill and all of us who read your online journal are grateful for it. Warren Reed.
