BBC Radio Manchester is the home of local news and sport for the people of Greater Manchester. Below are examples of my work
as a freelance news reporter for the station.
Virtual village
Manchester Pride usually takes place in the city's Gay Village. Due to COVID-19 this event couldn't be held in the usual way.
At BBC Radio Manchester I was tasked with creating a 'Virtual Village'. A space for people to celebrate Manchester Pride during the pandemic. Below are examples of my work.

Imagine driving into a petrol station where you don't have to lift a finger.
Tucked away down the side of a quiet street in Altrincham sits Greater Manchester's only assisted petrol station. Here they fill up your car for you!

There's a quiet revolution going on in the milk industry at the moment - people are ditching the plastic and going back to glass bottles and they're being delivered to your doorstep. Is this the return of our beloved milkman?
DIGITAL VIDEOS
At BBC Radio Manchester I spent some time working as their social media producer. Below are examples of my work.
