Colin Morrison

Colin Morrison is a British publishing executive, who is the chairman, non-executive director and consultant of several media and digital companies in Europe and Asia. He publishes the newsletter ''Flashes & Flames: The Global Media Weekly'', which he originally launched as a blog in 2012. He is a senior advisor to the New York media investment bank JEGI and is on the advisory board of the Royal National Children's SpringBoard Foundation.

Morrison has managed media businesses (magazines, newspapers, online, TV production, international licensing, B2B information and exhibitions) in the UK, across Europe, the US, and Asia–Pacific. He has been involved in media partnerships and joint ventures with Sony, Microsoft, the BBC, Hearst, Axel Springer, Dennis, ''The Washington Post'', Press Association and Hachette.

He was chairman of SBTV News, a partnership between online platform SBTV and the Press Association (launched with Jamal Edwards), GlobeLinx Networks, Pharmaceutical Press, and also of Great Golf Media. He was also the founding chair of Boarding School Partnerships 2017-21, an information service launched by the UK Department for Education under Lord Nash, the under secretary of state for schools. In July 2018, he announced a Partnership Bursaries scheme under which 38 independent boarding schools would offer 40% bursaries to boarders in and on the edge of local authority care.

Morrison said he hoped the scheme would help many more vulnerable young people to attend boarding schools - like he had decades before. Provided by Wikipedia
