Hi! My name is Aaron and I am a multimedia journalist focusing on social problems, local interest stories, and arts & culture journalism

My background is in local news reporting, but I have extensive experience in copyediting, social media management and using Adobe Creative Cloud.

Having edited Exeposé , a major student newspaper, I recognise the importance of keeping synergy between print and online platforms.

During my tenure as a senior print editor from 2019 to 2020, I worked with a large editorial team to maintain a dynamic and engaging publication aimed at students living and working in the city of Exeter.

In 2020, Exeposé received five award nominations from the Student Publication Association, including Best Publication.

I am experienced in using social media to promote content and am intent on ensuring my articles are as widely read as possible.
