Paul Blake

Journalist in Washington, District of Columbia, United States

With six years of experience working for international broadcasters, I am a multi-skilled multimedia journalist that has worked on assignment desks, in the field, in edit suites, with correspondents, and on my own.

Most recently, I made the stuff you read and watch on BBCNews.com. I have also filed or produced for RFI, France 24, Public Radio International, Monocle 24, and most BBC broadcast outlets.

Today, I'm on a fellowship, aiding a Colombian research organization advance engagement and communications with donors and partners around the world.

I plan to return to the BBC in October to be part of the coverage of the 2016 US Election.

You can see my full resume on LinkedIn.
