[edit] Biography

Patrick Trollope became interested in the media when he was at school. He was working in his free time on a publication that was published quarterly by The National Bonsai Society[2], called the World Of Bonsai.

His first big job was to document for historical record the largest 50th VE/VJ Anniversary event in northwest England. He was asked to be the official event photographer by the organising committee, made up from members of the Royal British Legion and Merseyside Police. (May 1995 to August 1995).

Trollope gained a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Wolverhampton in 1999 and set up PCBT Photography.

He then went on to cover large events for local and national media, such as the Southport 24 Hor Race,[3] a solar eclipse,[4] the Three Peaks cycling race[5], the Liberal Democrat Party conferences in Southport,[6] the Labour Party Conference in Southport,[7] Football for the None-League Paper,[8] and the Manchester (UK) XII Commonwealth Games in 2002.[9]

In 2000 he set up a weekly publication that became well-known[10] as the Southport Reporter. Southport Reporter was to become the first fully recognised online-only local newspaper in the UK.[10]

In 2001 Trollope was awarded a Licentiateship in Photography by the BPPA.

By 2002 the Southport Reporter website had to be trademarked[11] due to its popularity. The site has expanded, forming spin-off sites like Mersey Reporter[12] and an online TV and radio station called Liverpool Reporter.[13]

In 2002 Trollope was listed as contributor and referred to in a book called Viking Mersey.[14]

Patrick has been an outspoken member of the press on ethics and was a contributor to the UK's national conference on "Journalism and public trust" in a document published by the Press Wise Trust. Published on 16 Nov 2004.[15] This led him to teach ethics to journalism students at Edge Hill in 2005-2006.
