You have to wonder why Jon Clarke of the Olive Press seems to be a Lone Wolf when it comes to telling outright lies about the death of Maddie McCann.

In Jon Clarke’s new 4th VERSION of his visit to the McCann's, he admits claiming to have been the ONLY or the FIRST journalist.... are outright lies.

His latest nonsense is even more unbelievable!

The Scoop Interviews: Jon Clarke, Editor, The Olive Press

PeterMac: Chapter 38: Lies – Damned Lies – And Jon Clarke Scoop10

Interview by Nancy Todd.

The Rough Guide states that The Olive Press is the best English newspaper in southern Spain. The newspaper covers local news from Costa del Sol and Andalucia in general, plus national news from around Spain. The editor, entrepreneur and visionary for The Olive Press, is Jon Clarke. He moved to Madrid in 1991 for two years to work as an English teacher and after returning to the UK for a successful career in journalism (Daily Mail, Mail on Sunday, Daily Telegraph), he returned to Spain withhis wife in 2001. He started as a stringer for the national newspapers back home, and has since launched the Olive Press and had two children.

Q. Please describe your role with The Olive Press.

A. I am Editor and owner of the paper.

Q. What is the most satisfying part of your work?

A. I receive satisfaction by seeing the paper expand so fast (70 per cent in turnover and numbers last year) and enjoythe appreciation of the readers. It is the only newspaper of it's type in Spain, ie with proper trained journalists, that actually investigates crime and wrong doing, and I feel that is a key part of our success. Even though the recession is hitting Spain hard, ad revenues and readership continues to increase.

Q. The Olive Press is a hard copy and also online publication. How do you see future changes with internet affecting your paper?

A. By embracing both mediums we will continue to expand well and our readership is already probably around 50% online and 50% hardcopy. I don't see newspapers disappearing but evolving and being more creative. There is certainly arole for them, whether they are read on paper or virtually. I find it incredible that in such a short space of time we have found around 40,000 people downloading each issue online. That is more than the papers we print and is clearly demonstrating the changes today. We are certainly looking at expanding to cover all of Spain eventually and with this medium we are sort of doing that.

We have grown a lot. The first office was in Granada and now a second one in Ronda. Two issues arepublished a month with an online readership running well over 100,000 visitors a month.
