2017–2018: That’s TV (Editor, Reporter, Presenter)

Anna began in local television with That’s TV, working first on the Manchester service and then helping launch That’s York TV on Freeview channel 8. 

Her role combined researching local stories, self-shooting interviews and GVs, scripting, editing packages in Adobe Premiere Pro, presenting the news show, and gallery duties like directing and scheduling. She also trained interns, recruited staff, and managed social pages.

2018–2021: Hull Daily Mail / Hull Live (Reporter)

In May 2018, Anna moved into print-digital at Reach plc’s Hull Daily Mail (Hull Live). 

She ran breaking news live blogs, covered courts and inquests, produced exclusives, and wrote features across news, sport, weather, and leisure. Her work is regularly syndicated across Reach titles and other national outlets. 

Audience data cited on her LinkedIn places her among Hull Live’s top authors, with monthly views well over one million.

Impact: Built a track record in fast-turn reporting with legal literacy from court coverage, and grew the audience at scale within the Reach network.

Recent examples: Coastal erosion and Cold War bunker pieces, local policing outcomes, and community features with national pick-up through GB News platforms.
