I spent time as a news reporter producing stories for the UK’s major newspapers.
This role included reporting on breaking news, court cases, and inquests as well as sourcing original exclusive stories for all of the national newspapers.
I was also responsible for monitoring local news, competitors and social media for stories that may be unfolding.
