About me

I am NCTJ qualified with good knowledge of current affairs, law and 100 wpm shorthand. Every week I write an engaging, informative column for my local newspaper on the latest upcoming events. I also contribute regular articles to Luton News, using my contacts and initiative to generate stories. Through my job and placements on national and regional newspapers I have reported on a variety of stories, conducted telephone and face-to-face interviews, including an MP in Parliament, produced copy from press releases and undertaken research and brainstorming assignments. I believe as a talented writer and a creative person with a degree in Design Communication, who has to grasp complex issues as part of my role, I can write easy-to-understand and insightful copy on any subject given to me. I have an absolute drive and passion for a career in journalism and feel the above shows that I am a strong, dedicated and enthusiastic candidate for your role Yours sincerely Colin Grady
