I reported for hyperlocal news service, JesmondLocal from 2018/2019, writing news stories based in the Jesmond area of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. 

I worked with freelance journalist's Ian Wylie (fmr editor of the Guardian, Financial Times, Monocle, founder of Civic Journalism Lab) and Chris Stokel Walker (Guardian, Wired, BuzzFeed News, Economist, BBC, author of "YouTubers").

I produced the Live Broadcast of our local election coverage, which can be seen here.

I also was the social media reporter at the hustings event we organised in Jesmond, live-tweeting the debate.
