A bit about me and how to get in contact
I am an MA graduate in Online Journalism, an experienced online and data journalist, editor, audio/video content producer, radio presenter and writer.
I have set up and administered a number of blogs, online communities and forums, have live blogged for the Daily Telegraph, created data visualizations for the Manchester Evening News, written topical content for the Guardian and edited hyperlocal blogs.
I am proficient in the use of SEO, workflow, CMS, multimedia, data journalism, enterprise, social media, setting up and administering discussion forums and submitting freedom of information requests.
Using the above skills, I also offer a service where I can set up and run your blog and social media accounts for a modest monthly fee.
