PhD’ing and focusing on newsroom mental health projects today. It is just two weeks until our newsroom mental health conference in London and I’m so very proud of what and who we will bring together in the room for this crucial conversation.
Onwards, always!

Did someone say W.A.L.K.I.E.S?

What a week. I had one Pulitzer Prize winner visit at Ulster University Journalism HQ, two school visits, an online masterclass, an on stage interview with a forgiveness activist and continued planning for a massive newsroom mental health conference in London. I’ll 100% be asleep by 9pm

What a great time our Snapshot Journalism students from Principal St Joseph's Boys' School and St Mary's College had at Ulster University Journalism HQ yesterday. We did interviews, we had a mock press conference, the gang recorded their work in our TV studios and got a tour of our beautiful campus

This was a beautiful, poignant and powerful event at Ulster University. I am in awe of Candice Mama, of her strength, positivity and resilience. She is a warrior, a hope, peace and joy bringer. The light that shines from her heart is blinding. We could all learn so much from her here

Was fantastic to have Principal St Joseph's Boys' School and St Mary's College students with us at Ulster University today as we end our Snapshot journalism project. We even had a mock interview where we quizzed the brand new Liverpool FC Manager GERRY BEATTIE!

I'm very much looking forward to interviewing South African Human Rights Activist and Influencer Candice Mama at Ulster University Magee on Thursday. Candice found hope after meeting, hugging and forgiving her father's murderer. She is a fascinating woman 👇

Such an honour to have Pulitzer Prize winning photographer Cathal McNaughton in to speak to our students at Ulster University Journalism HQ today. Expertise from a fantastic career, much wisdom and a wealth of experience to share. Thank you Cathal!

The eagle has landed. The brilliant Pulitzer Prize winning photographer Cathal McNaughton has arrived at Ulster University Journalism HQ to speak to our students

I'd say this is the only way I would run the London Marathon also - drunk.
Fair play to everyone who did it. Amazing stuff

For anyone who didn't catch this earlier. Super excited to be organising this newsroom mental health conference for journalists next month in London alongside the brilliant James Scurry. Hosted by Saima Mohsin, speakers include Jeremy Bowen and Allan Little and many more. Have a look👇
