A linguist by training, Mel is a writer and tech geek who loves exploring new content channels and ways of displaying data.
At the same time, she holds on to the firm belief that proper journalism, with its language and reporting standards, still has a place – and is in fact more important than ever in today's world of TikTok trends and clickbait sites. The challenge she's continually exploring is how to bridge that divide between old-school standards and the brave new world of content creation.
Beyond writing, she is interested in the wider, ever-changing landscape of digital journalism: how to develop and maintain revenue streams, stay relevant to readers, and use data for storytelling and improvement. Mel is currently the digital and social media head at interior design magazine Home and Decor.
