I'm a Political Journalist; Aubrey Allegretti

So, What Do You Do? by Ampersand Speech

Episode notes

This time, we'll be talking to one of The Guardian's top political journalists, Aubrey Allegretti.

There doesn't seem to be a front page story he hasn't written, but it's not always been plain sailing. We hear about the highs and lows of being in The Thick of It, what tips and advice he has for those looking to break into the industry and what really could do with changing in Westminster.

From reporting from Washington DC over the 2020 US Election, to breaking exclusive after exclusive, Aubrey also finds the time to be a Trustee for the SPA (Student Publication Association) and is unfailingly kind and generous with his time for those starting out in the industry.

So, What Do You Do? is an Ampersand Speech production, hosted by journalist and producer, Ben Hansen-Hicks.
