Introduction

Saturday, June 9th, 1984

Top journalist Gerard O’Kane can bring a broad spectrum of international experience to your business or publications, and a look through this site will give a feel for both the width and quality. To search the site for my articles, click here or, to make contact, please use the resources at the top of the page.

The articles contained within are by no means comprehensive, nor are the publications that are listed. The site sets out to illustrate the types of work done and starts with an interview with Bill Gates back in 1984.

While the site contains general pieces, technology and political writing, O’Kane has been most prolific in producing financial articles over the past few years. These range from unit trust/mutual fund articles, to analyses of more esoteric financial instruments, rules, regulations and infrastructure.

The site structure is simple: click on a category in the sidebar to get a list of stories and then carry on. What the site does not yet contain is any multi-media content from either my radio or television work but links will take you to the BBC or CNBC Asia sites related to earlier jobs.

- By and large it has also left out project work for clients due to confidentiality agreements but, as the CV shows, this has included: speech writing for senior executives at Hongkong Telecom
- ghost writing for financial institutions such as Bank of Bermuda
- technical writing for AT&T, Northern Telecom and DEC
- confidential reports for 3Com et al
- media training for Edelman Public Relations.

The list could go on.
