RTS Nominated journalism
Last year, as part of my MA in Broadcast Journalism at City, University of London, Giorgio Bounous and I produced a film about public-private partnerships bankrupting the NHS. It was nominated for the student journalism award at the Royal Television Society student awards.
In brief, the NHS created enterprise-friendly contracts to speed up the waiting times for common treatments. But it’s lead to unnecessary treatments, rejected patients and millions of pounds flowing out of the NHS, and into private companies.
This site is here to display some of my work, including:
Before my Masters, I wrote news and features at the Global Cycling Network. I worked there for about 18 months, where I was the first hire in a new team of journalists for their cycling news site.
After about six months putting everything together, we went live in summer 2023, straight into a hectic year of reporting. The first weekend that the site was live, for example, I was already in France, reporting on Paris-Brest-Paris.
About a year later GCN was sold and they closed the site, among other things, and our fun was over. Within the year or so we were live, I published 287 articles and racked up 1.32 million page views.
