Victor Keegan

Vic Keegan writes a weekly technology column and leaders in the Guardian as well as a fortnightly economics column on Guardian Unlimited.

He joined the Guardian in 1963 as a general reporter in Manchester and afterwards became financial correspondent in London. Since then his positions have included deputy financial editor, business editor, economics editor, duty editor, chief leader writer and assistant editor. He was a member of the Scott Trust, owner of the Guardian, for 11 years and he edited the Online section of the Guardian for six years until summer 2005. Keegan also runs the Guardian‘s Kick All Agricultural Subsidies (KICK AAS) blog.

Victor will present to What MySpace Means attendees the driving principles behind the Guardian‘s overhaul to community cultivation, and the lessons for non-media entities in their overwhelming success.
