Richard Burgess | 12:54 UK time, Wednesday, 19 April 2006

I'm the multimedia commissioning editor for the BBC's sports news. I think I must win the prize for the longest job title and I know what you thinking . . . What on earth does he do?

Well, basically, my job is to co-ordinate our sports journalism across television, radio and the website. The aim is to break stories, set the sports news agenda and interview the big names in sport.

I've been at the BBC since 1999 - starting at BBC Manchester and then moving to Five Live where, until recently, I was responsible for the sports news output.

I started my career as a news reporter at the Grimsby Evening Telegraph before moving to the Manchester Evening News where I was the Manchester City reporter. And yes, I am a City fan but I try not to let it depress me too much.
