Our head of editorial innovation speaks to Tony Ageh, who performed a similar role 30 years ago when the internet was in its infancy and experimentation was everything
It is eight minutes into my interview with Tony Ageh and I’ve managed to ask just one question: how did he start working at the Guardian?
The response is breathless. Stories overlap and interrupt each other as he sketches the media landscape in the early 90s, digresses into the creation of the BBC, Sky, the listings duopoly of the Radio and TV Times, and dials up an anecdote about how his Italian grandmother almost cost him his career by mangling a crucial telephone message.
