BJTC Multi-media Broadcast Journalist
About Me
I’m Hattie Morris, a BJTC accredited broadcast journalist currently working on ITV's Loose Women, where I get to bring people’s stories to life every day. My role as a researcher includes pre-interviewing guests, crafting their briefs, shaping meaningful conversations, and weaving together the stills and footage that help tell their story. I’ve been lucky to work on projects close to my heart with the features team like Loose Women: The Music and the Facing It Together domestic abuse campaign, which went nationwide, reached over 600 venues, and even made its way to Parliament.
Alongside this, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to work with film critic Mark Kermode and the Girls On Film podcast, supporting research, social media, and even taking our podcast to cover the 78th Cannes Film Festival—all while completing my Master’s in Broadcast Journalism at City, University of London.
My work has spanned radio, TV, and digital platforms, from BBC Radio Lincolnshire to City News and Newcastle Student Radio, and I’m trained in media law, journalism ethics, data reporting, and studio production. I love using tools like Adobe Premiere Pro, Audition, Avid, Burli, INews, and CapCut to craft content that truly resonates with audiences.
Before journalism, I trained in opera and musical theatre, and that experience taught me how to perform under pressure, connect with people emotionally, and tell stories that linger with audiences. At the heart of everything I do is a simple mission: to make news and stories engaging, relatable, and meaningful, helping people feel seen and inspired.
Career Highlights
Loose Women Goes to Parliament & MP Josh Babarinde's Domestic Abuse Story
For the Facing It Together domestic abuse campaign, I supported the nationwide rollout of posters across more than 600 venues, and took the campaign across the sea to Belfast. I worked on the Parliament VT, secured an interview with Minister for Victims Alex Davies-Jones, and handled all the research, legal checks, and duty of care for Josh Babarinde’s powerful interview. It was a whirlwind, but incredibly rewarding to see the campaign come to life on such a scale.
How Music Helped Us Through Our Darkest Times | Loose Women: The Music
Ahead of World Mental Health Day we celebrated the power of music and its ability to help lift our mood and improve our mental health. Our panel shared how music has shaped their lives and helped them through dark times, and I had the honour of sourcing and crafting the footage and imagery that brought this powerful show to life.
Gloria Estefan: 'I'm More Creative in My 60s!' | Loose Women
Cuban-American singing sensation Gloria Estefan joins our panel to celebrate fifty incredible years in music! The “Queen of Latin Pop” shows no signs of slowing down, marking the release of her new album, Raíces — her first full-length Spanish album in 18 years. I had the privilege of pre-interviewing Gloria for 45 minutes, hearing her story firsthand and bringing it to life on screen. She opens up about her favourite memories of the smash hit Conga, how she found her confidence as a musical star, and why age has inspired her to get even more creative.
