Rory Cellan-Jones

Rory Cellan-Jones is a journalist for BBC News.

Starting his BBC career as a researcher on the Leeds edition of "Look North", he then worked in the London TV newsroom for three years before getting his first on-screen role at BBC Wales. He later transferred to London and became the business and economics correspondent. After the dot com crash of 2000, he wrote the book "Dot.bomb". Since January 2007, Cellan-Jones has been the BBC's Technology Correspondent [ [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1658263/ Rory Cellan-Jones ] ] with the job of expanding the BBC's coverage of new media and telecoms, and the cultural impact of the Internet.

In April 2007 he launched [http://stopnujboycott.blogspot.com Stop the NUJ boycott] , "a campaign for a ballot of NUJ members about the union's policy on a boycott of Israeli goods." According to the site, he and/or others sent the following motion to the general secretary of Britain's National Union of Journalists:

As BBC journalists and NUJ members we are dismayed at the passing of a motion at ADM calling for a boycott of Israeli goods. As members of a corporation which prides itself on providing impartial news coverage, we cannot associate ourselves with a move which involves taking sides in any conflict. We call on the union to hold a ballot of all members to see whether they support the view taken at ADM on an issue which could have a profound effect on the way all British journalists are viewed at home and abroad.

Cellan-Jones is married to BBC Trustee Diane Coyle, a former adviser to HM Treasury and author of "Sex, Drugs and Economics". [ [http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-2401697,00.html Out with the governors and in with the trustees - Britain - Times Online ] ]
