20 trailblazing women in journalism
There are too many amazing women working in journalism to name in one article, so here are a few top picks from our editorial team of trailblazing women journalists in no particular order.
Suzanne Reid, television host, Good Morning Britain
Suzanne Reid displayed a masterclass in her exclusive interview with two parents affected by the Southport tragedy last year, where three children were murdered. Emotional trigger warning on the below video.
Luba Kassova, co-founder and director, AKAS
Luba Kassova is a media consultant specialising in diversity, equity and inclusion. She published a critical piece of research this year, "The missing voices of women in music and music news".
It showed how news coverage of the Grammy's relied on repetitive press releases, which perpetuated the false claim that women dominated the awards (newsflash: they didn't).
Sophia Smith Galer, digital journalist
Sophia Smith-Galer is a journalist, author and content creator but don't call her a "news influencer" (sorry Sophia). She is a TikTok phenomenon and creator of an AI tool that writes viral vertical video scripts, media trainer, and the recent winner of the prestigious Georgina Henry Award for Digital Innovation.
Emaan Warraich, impact journalist, BBC World Service
Another TikTok account we enjoy comes from BBC journalist Emaan Warraich, who regularly posts 'day in the life' videos within the newsroom. She came through the NCTJ's apprenticeship scheme, and last year, she became an NCTJ ambassador and received a post-apprenticeship recognition award for her work at BBC World Service.
