Read MoreWHO AM I? I'm a versatile and creative TV and radio producer and presenter with a flair for adding personality to news stories.I have experience launching a TV station, 3 TV programmes, and creating an original YouTube series aimed at younger audiences.That YouTube series is The Single Market: Political Speed Dates, my ridiculous idea to take politicians on a date to grill them about politics. (There have been no second dates so I am still looking for love).WHAT DO I WANT?To make current affairs engaging. Open minded about how I do that, but producing, writing and presenting are what I do now!Open to freelance work and short-term contracts as well as longer-term gigs.WHERE HAVE I BEEN?Mostly the BBC and TalkTV. I've worked on global programmes like the launch of Piers Morgan Uncensored on TalkTV, and Newsday on the BBC World Service, and on national programmes like The Today Programme on BBC Radio 4 and daily prime time shows on TalkTV.AM I QUALIFIED?Yes. I studied at King's Collge London, attained a 1:1 International Relations BA, plus a Gold Standard Level 3 Diploma in News Reporting from Press Association. I've also received exclusive undercover reporting and secret filming training, but don't tell anyone.WHAT CAN I DO?I can conduct interviews, read off autocue live and voice packages. I can output live TV and radio and am used to adapting to breaking news on air.I specialise in writing engaging scripts and can vary my tone from straight news to opinion or humour depending on the show.I can generate a running order, finding stories to fit the editorial agenda of a show and choosing how to order them.I can write to picture and to graphics - I conceptualise ideas to match my scripts and collaborate with graphic designers to create unique animated graphic sequences (I mean it when I say unique, happy to send examples...)I have a very large book of personal contacts and experience casting shows to create balanced lineups.I'm used to working directly with high profile talent, briefing both presenters and guests.I can edit video and also oversee the post-production of long-form content.I can text produce on-screen graphics: writing puns about news stories is my hidden superpower.DO YOU WANT TO WORK WITH ME?Then email ellie.fishleigh@gmail.com
