"43 Days" is public service journalism at its best. In it, Kim navigates complex and sensitive issues, reaching the humanity at the core of the story with flawless ethics and even compassion.
Kim: I was so touched and humbled to receive the Anjool Maldé Journalism prize for my work ‘43 Days.’ which was produced as part of my QUB Masters in Media and Broadcast Production 2019/20. This award has dramatically increased my confidence and will be the driving force behind my further development and career aspirations in this innovative and exciting industry. The Radio Documentary ’43 days’, will I hope shed further light on the public discourse surrounding a high-profile rape trial in Belfast.
