He will be responsible for writing and commissioning content for DQ magazine and its website, covering all aspects of the international TV drama business.

This will range from interviews with showrunners, writers, producers, directors and stars to in-depth features on drama development, commissioning trends, digital strategies and financing.

Pickard was previously senior reporter covering the drama patch for C21 before most recently working as deputy group editor of the Times & Independent Series newspaper titles in London.

“Mike’s analysis of the industry was key to C21’s drama coverage back in 2011 and 2012, and even after he left the company he was blogging about drama,” said Ed Waller, editorial director at C21 Media. “It’s great to have him back on staff, steering DQ with his trademark enthusiasm and sharp eye for trend-spotting,”

Pickard’s appointment comes as C21 beefs up DQ as C21’s sister publication with an accompanying website and weekly email newsletter. Contact Michael via email here or on Twitter at @mchlpckrd or @DQDaily.
