I’m a journalist/TV presenter with more than 20 years’ experience working for some of the world’s leading news networks. A migrant everywhere and obsessed with the different narratives within International News, I want to have nuanced discussions about often sensitive topics with people looking for solutions, not a fight.
I’ve called this newsletter ‘News with a foreign accent’ because
a) I have one
b) Feeling like a foreigner everywhere gives me a different take on things
I’ll focus on current affairs through the lens of two topics I’m passionate about: the threat of Fascism and bilingualism/being second-language English, and how using English as the global language affects the international news narrative.

As a news anchor, I can’t engage with viewers during broadcasts. But on Substack I want to know what you think and I look forward to having engaging, even challenging (but always civil) discussions.
Everyone’s welcome, including:
Anyone with a passion for trying to make sense of the world
People with an interest in historical fascism and making sure it doesn’t make a comeback
Second-language English speakers who realise how much the English language shapes the world. First language English speakers will also find it interesting, I promise!
Young/aspiring/fellow journalists
As a paid subscriber, you’d be able to contact me directly for feedback/suggestions and special live substack sessions. A lot of written content will be free, so click subscribe and I’ll see you soon.
