Henry Hurt

I led a team of five reporters as part of the Steel City Sling editorial team, managing workflow and providing feedback to ensure high-quality, consistent coverage. This resulted in a well-rounded, reliable news product that reflected the interests of our readership.

I built a strong network of contacts in the local Sheffield community by actively engaging with sources on the ground and following up on leads. This enabled us to maintain a steady stream of relevant and timely stories throughout the publication cycle.

I worked closely with the print and social media teams, using Adobe InDesign to contribute to newspaper layout and coordinate content for platforms like Instagram, X (Twitter), and Facebook. This helped create a cohesive cross-platform presence that expanded our audience reach.

I balanced editorial oversight with hands-on content creation by editing articles, sourcing visuals, and staying involved in story development from pitch to publication. This ensured our work met journalistic standards while remaining accessible and engaging.
