Check out my portfolio here: https://authory.com/FranMolloy?I'm a freelance journalist and for over twenty years, I've worked in magazines, newspapers and digital publications, writing on a contract or freelance basis. I've been an editor, a radio producer, TV researcher, communications adviser, fact-checker, media manager, photo editor and social media manager. I'm also an adjunct journalism lecturer (NYU Sydney) and the NSW Media section President of Australia's Media Entertainment & Arts Alliance.I can edit long annual reports and short captions, crop photos, trim and edit audio and video, shoot images, create websites, interview CEOs, astrophysicists, politicians and school kids. I'm a cheerful co-worker, fascinated by people, technology, philosophy and the wild ... I'm usually up for a chat, I love swimming in the ocean and walking in the bush. Do you have a project I could help you with? Get in touch, I'd love to hear about it.
