I’m Ruby Mitchell, a Broadcast Journalism graduate from City, University of London, with a strong interest in visual storytelling and investigative reporting. I’ve gained hands-on experience producing digital video articles at The Independent and shadowing BBC journalists on long-form investigative projects, where I developed skills in pitching, research, editing, and newsroom collaboration.

My work spans everything from covering the closure of Peckham Soup Kitchen to exploring the housing crisis faced by ex-prisoners, reporting on new safety measures in London nightlife, and directing my own documentary TikTok: Producing Pain. Across all of these, my goal is the same: to tell human-centred stories that hold power to account and give a platform to voices too often overlooked.

Alongside this, I have a long-standing passion for sport, both as a fan and a journalist, and I’m particularly interested in how digital platforms can amplify female fandom and spotlight stories in the sports world.

I’m passionate about how video journalism can connect with audiences in new and creative ways across platforms like TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram. With a background in sociology and a commitment to socially impactful reporting, I bring curiosity, adaptability, and collaborative energy to every project I take on.
