Mike Harrison

Writing and journalism

I have extensive experience in writing features and news for print, web sites and for broadcasting in radio or tv. My training includes awareness of legal issues in publishing. I am a member of the NUJ and bound by both its and the PCC's codes of conduct. With a science and maths degree I make few mistakes in interpreting data. I offer quick turnaround to brief or can provide proposals to suit your publication.

Mike Harrison interviews Lord Haskins. Photo by Bill Mackenzie.High-level interview is a speciality. The picture (right) was taken during an interview with Lord Haskins for First Voice.

As a writer I cover general topics and have relevant experience in politics and national policy, enterprise and small business, management, environment, travel, construction industry, science and technology. I can also offer the non-linear material demanded by multimedia and interactive technologies. There are archives of my published material on this and other sites.

The NCTJ's distance learning course on Periodical Journalism quotes my work.

My extensive contact book is the product of 40 years of international networking and researching.

"...I have passed the article onto my officials as an example of how to communicate effectively with such an audience..."

 Margaret Hodge, previously Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at the DFEE commenting on my feature for First Voice on the Disability Discrimination Act.
