I’m Hattie Morris, a BJTC-accredited Broadcast Journalist, recently working as a Researcher on ITV’s Oscars Live. In this role, I pre-interviewed panel guests, produced a 100-page research brief, supported the edit of ITVX explainer VTs, and spent the night spotting arrivals on the LA red carpet-feeding real-time updates to the LA production team and EVS.
I’ve been fortunate to contribute to programmes close to my heart, including Loose Women and its Features team on Loose Women: The Music, which has been nominated for a Royal Television Society Award, as well as the Facing It Together domestic abuse campaign. This initiative reached over 600 venues nationwide and was presented in Parliament.
Alongside this, I’ve collaborated with film critic Mark Kermode at the BFI and Anna Smith on the Girls On Film podcast, supporting research, producing social content, and working on-location, most notably covering the 78th Cannes Film Festival all while completing my Master’s in Broadcast Journalism at City, University of London.
My experience spans television, radio, and digital platforms, underpinned by training in media law, journalism ethics, data reporting, and studio production. I’m also hands-on with tools including Adobe Premiere Pro, Audition, Avid, and CapCut.
Before journalism, I trained in opera, an experience that sharpened my ability to perform under pressure and connect with audiences through storytelling.
At the core of everything I do is a simple aim: to create stories that are engaging, relatable, and meaningful.
