Hello
Thank you for visiting my website.
I am a Belfast-based Ireland Correspondent for Irish, British and international media outlets.
I cover breaking news, politics, lobby, courts, features, business, social affairs, the arts, lifestyle, food, travel, reviews, and more.
Variety is one of the great joys of being a freelance journalist.
As well as being a writer and broadcaster I am also: an event and conference host; panellist; fixer; producer; copywriter; trainer; and consultant.
I am a proud member of the National Union of Journalists and cofounded Women in Media Belfast https://www.wimbelfast.com
Please get in touch here with any commissions, tips, or requests.
Thank you
Amanda
