Matthew's work

Haivng recently completed an MA course in Magazine Journalism at Bournemouth University and it has given me the enthusiasm and desire to now launch my career in journalsim. I have a wealth of experience and have covered a wide range of topics, from interviewing the controversial far-right politician, Nick Griffin, leader of the BNP, to a weekend training with the Royal Marine Commandos for a real life feature. Before switching to journalism I worked in teaching at schools in Nottingham and Leicester. Working with exuberant children proved jsut as challenging as the hours I spend each week doing sparring at my boxing club.

I am proficient in all aspects of print production, and can create spreads in Indesign and use Photoshop. I can design web pages and above all I love the challenge of generating a story and seeing it develop into a published piece. I am reliable and am guaranteed to meet a deadline.
