Journalism

I’m currently available to work casual shifts, having previous experience in SEO/trending news, general news, and music journalism.

I’ve reported on all kinds of stories – from strikes and political events, to TV reactions and film. Whether it’s the release of an international arms dealer or the latest happenings on Love Island, I’ve had the chance to work on all manner of stories in the past, as well as seeking out and publishing exclusives.

In the past, I have conducted and transcribed interviews, gone out and sought vox pops from the public, been credentialed for press events, and carried out reviews and other content.

Whether you are looking for a bias-free presentation of both sides of an argument or an Op-Ed/opinion piece, I’m more than happy to contribute articles to online magazines, news sites, or print.

I’ve received SEO Training from Reach PLC (formerly Trinity Mirror) and work as a freelance SEO Journalist for several different companies.

Please get in touch to discuss your ideas.
