BJTC Multi-Media Broadcast Journalist
About Me
I’m Hattie Morris, a BJTC-accredited Broadcast Journalist currently working as a Researcher on ITV’s Oscars. My role involves pre-interviewing panel guests, crafting detailed briefs, supporting the edit of explainer VTs, and sourcing and assembling stills and footage to showcase the main stories of the night.
I’ve been fortunate to work on shows close to my heart, including Loose Women and its features team on Loose Women: The Music and the Facing It Together domestic abuse campaign. This campaign reached over 600 venues nationwide and even made its way to Parliament.
Alongside this, I’ve collaborated with film critic Mark Kermode at the BFI and Anna Smith on Girls On Film podcast, supporting research, social media, and on-location production, including attending and covering the 78th Cannes Film Festival, all while completing my Master’s in Broadcast Journalism at City, University of London.
My work spans TV, radio, and social media, and I’m trained in media law, journalism ethics, data reporting, and studio production. I also enjoy using tools like Adobe Premiere Pro, Audition, Avid, and CapCut in my spare time.
Before journalism, I trained in opera, an experience that taught me how to perform under pressure, connect emotionally with audiences, and tell stories that linger.
At the heart of everything I do, is a simple mission. My goal is to make stories engaging, relatable, and meaningful, making audiences feel seen and entertained.

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.

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.
Is Porn Ruining Young Men's Relationships? | Loose Men

Teasing up our first ever Loose Men survey later in the show, we’ll reveal that almost a third of men worry about how much they’re using porn with many believing that it’s negatively affecting their relationships. The panel discusses why they think this is, and move on to discuss whether dads should talk to their sons about porn.
