Gutted not to be able to speak at this any more - but the inimitable Anna Burnside is stepping in to replace me. If you’re in Belfast and a woman in media, it’s going to be a brilliant event.

So excited and grateful to have received one of these bursaries - which I’ll be using to investigate the possible equal pay bills owed by Scotland’s local authorities. And delighted to have @STVNickiMc as a mentor! Get in touch if you have anything to discuss on the above… 🔍
