Benjamin Russell Media
I’m a senior multimedia journalist with experience across national broadcast, print and digital newsrooms. I’ve worked on the news desks of national newspapers, as a programme editor deciding what makes it onto TV, as a reporter on major breaking stories, and as a radio journalist delivering bulletins where the deadlines are measured in seconds, not minutes. From writing headlines to leading investigations and managing live output, I bring strong editorial judgement and a clear sense of what makes a story land — across TV, radio, online and print.
Media Training & Consultancy
Alongside my journalism work, I offer media consultancy and training, helping organisations communicate more effectively with the press. Drawing on my experience commissioning and producing stories in national newsrooms — as well as pitching and selling stories as a freelancer and reporter — I provide honest, practical advice on what works and what doesn’t when trying to secure meaningful media coverage. From one-off training sessions to messaging support or a second opinion on press strategy, I help organisations tell stronger, clearer stories — the kind journalists will actually use.
Video, Audio & Photography
As an experienced multimedia journalist, I also produce broadcast-quality video, photography and audio content for organisations looking to tell their story across different platforms. Combining strong editorial instincts with hands-on shooting, recording and editing skills, I create content designed to engage audiences, support campaigns and meet professional media standards — from promotional video and photography to podcast and audio storytelling.
