Nimra Shahid

MA INTERACTIVE JOURNALISM, CITY UNIVERSITY OF LONDON

My background in social research and policy, across areas including Brexit, public health and knife crime, has nurtured my interest in a new kind of digital and multimedia-based journalism. Since obtaining my English Language & Linguistics degree from King’s College London, I have produced a data-mine backed study into how social dissent developed into the #metoo movement. I have also worked with BBC News Service, Radio 4 and South on stories and debates exploring Muslims and Social Mobility, Artificial Intelligence, and Democracy. Through my Masters, I aspire to develop skills for responsibly delivering fact-based and accessible news, while enabling underrepresented voices to be platformed.
