GEORGE KING JOURNALIST

I am a NCTJ-qualified digital and print journalist.

I am currently a Digital Audience and Content Editor at the Colchester Gazette - a news brand I have worked for since 2019. 

On a daily basis I am responsible for driving the news agenda both in print and on our websites, editing copy, writing headlines and deciding how best to present articles online and across multi-media platforms.

I also source and produce an eclectic range of stories and regularly attend and cover breaking news incidents and press conferences at which I photograph and film content, interview eyewitnesses, and present Facebook Live videos.

One livestream I captured, which showed police shredding cannabis plants in Colchester High Street, garnered more than 250,000 views.

I have also recently created and launched The Gazette Talks - a video interview series in which I speak with everyone from business owners and community figures.

Previously, I was a freelance writer for Acoustic Magazine. I interviewed the likes of George Ezra, First Aid Kit, Frank Turner, Lucy Rose and more – some of which were cover features.

In my spare time, I am the editor and co-founder of LOCK Magazine - a free, self-funded print music magazine that is dedicated to championing female musicians and bands.

My words have also been published by The Independent, NME, MTV News, ZOO, Louder Than War, Little Indie Blogs, It's All Indie and Spindle.

Prior to finding full-time employment within the journalism industry, I carried out work experience placements at Channel 4, The Independent, NME, MTV NEWS, FHM and ZOO magazine
