All I aired was "hot off the press" news at Ireland's primary and notable music, arts and culture magazine. I worked here after my return from NYC and employment in Spine Media.
Job brief: Find the latest in pop culture, both national and international, and report this for the website or magazine with an appropriate Hot Press voice (which conveniently allowed for my own vocabulary of comfort, featuring an abundance of slang and Irish-isms)
Ideas: These were generated at team pitch meetings based on news in the world of music, movies or cultural and political goings-on in Ireland. I was also assigned topics and given free reign on how to approach these.
Results: Some* of these follow below in the downloadable PDF...
*The annual Best Of Ireland magazine/weekly Go Rail train magazine were also brought to Irish audiences by the award-winning team at Hot Press. For these I contributed articles such as, "Favourite Places in Ireland 2018" (a piece created through the vox pop medium) and "Events of the Week", respectively.
Circulation: Approx 19,000 print issues of HotPress bought fortnightly
