Peek at my Week

We take you inside the diary of a freelance court reporter

This week in our Premium newsletter we have another episode of our ‘Peek at my week’ series where we poke around inside a freelance journalist’s diary. For this one we chat to specialist court reporter Charlie Moloney.

We first talked to Charlie on the podcast where we picked his brains on covering Crown Court trials, how the commissioning process works for him, just how fast your shorthand needs to be and challenging your legal right to report a story.

His work is fascinating and we were intrigued what his week looks like so read on for the lowdown.

But just before you do, we need just FIVE more premium subscribers to launch our new series, Editors’ Pitching Tips. For £4 a month, premium subscribers gain access to successful pitch examples, freelance resources, Q&As, financial tips, and insights into freelance life. If we reach our target of five more sign-ups we can also deliver editor tips directly to your inbox.
