Profile

I am a practicing journalist at a national newspaper, holding a master鈥檚 degree in digital journalism and a bachelor鈥檚 degree in broadcast journalism. I successfully completed the MailOnline graduate scheme and have experience in both broadcast freelancing and regional journalism.

I am pursuing a PhD, which incorporates a practical element, focusing on the impact of mainstream print newspapers on the Women鈥檚 Social and Political Union鈥檚 (WSPU) militant fight for suffrage.

Research interests

My PhD involves researching newspapers which covered the notable militant members of the WSPU fighting for the right to vote from 1896 to 1914 and to what extent did their coverage influence the passing of the 1918 Representation of the People Act' and is supervised by Dr James Whitworth and Dr Emma Heywood.
