Sean Borg began his career in entertainment in 1989, after
completing a course in journalism in London. Immediately after he concentrated his focus
on freelance writing, for publications that ranged from teenage pop titles such as Fast
Forward to trendy The Face magazine. This culminated with Sean being appointed as
Associate Editor of the now defunct publication Don’t Tell It, interviewing the likes
of the artists’ ‘Gilbert & George’, Hollywood actress, Samantha Mathis,
the famous ‘wild children’ of the 80’s - Emma Ridley and Amanda De Cadenet,
and spotting talent such as Gavin Rossdale of international super-group - Bush; placing
Rossdale on the cover before any other magazine had.
As a ‘mover and shaker’ on the London social scene, Sebastian
Scott - former Director of top television company Planet 24, spotted Sean’s talents
and offered him the opportunity to join the team at Channel 4’s The Word as a
researcher. He worked under then Editor Paul Ross, impressing him so much, that Ross
promoted Sean within six months to Assistant Producer giving him his own segment in the
series, The Gossip, which became an immensely popular part of the show.
