Nawal Abdisamad

MA BROADCAST JOURNALISM, CITY UNIVERSITY

I am driven to pursue a career in broadcast journalism because I am passionate about utilising the power of media to inform, educate, and inspire people.

In addition to my work as a freelance journalist, I am also an author at a thinktank where I focus on raising awareness about the global issues faced by Muslims. My writing covers a range of topics, including climate change in Pakistan, Muslims' safety in India, and the situation in Jenin and Sudan.

I have gained experience in various roles, from being a copy taster at The Sun to Digital Content Producer at TRT World, a guest at the Financial Times Talent podcast, and recording a segment at Times Radio. I have also had opportunities to interview prime ministers and senior politicians.

My passion for representation and advocacy is at the core of everything I do, and as a Somali Muslim woman, I strive to represent my communities, and I hope to become the best journalist I can be.
