I am a freelance journalist
... specialising in child welfare, covering the care system, housing policy, education and online safety
I look for the people with the most compelling arguments on how our society could better serve children and their families, and turn their ideas into balanced and thoughtful reads
I believe in the power of stories and consider it a privilege to listen to the experience of others
And so I take this seriously, handling every interview with sensitivity and transparency and contributing to publications that prize constructive, explorative journalism, including Prospect, The Independent and the Financial Times
Lastly I’m thorough. I trained as a sub-editor so my copy is always clean, factually accurate and delivered on time.
That’s me, in a nutshell. To read more of my work please head to my features page, or get in touch
Cherry is a reliable and intuitive journalist. She files clean, engaging copy to deadline and takes direction very well. A pleasure to work with.
