Phoebe - Multimedia Broadcast Journalist

About me

I’m Phoebe Dukes, a London-based broadcast journalist . I produce clear, engaging stories across TV, radio and digital platforms, with a particular interest in data-led reporting and human stories.

Before journalism, I worked as a Graduate Research Executive at Verian, analysing complex datasets from government projects and turning them into clear, audience-focused narratives. This background strengthens my reporting, allowing me to break down complex issues and tell stories with clarity and impact.

I’m also a TEDx speaker with international experience working in Hong Kong and across the UK.

I’m currently looking for opportunities in broadcast and digital journalism and available to start now.

Presenter Showreel

This showreel demonstrates my experience presenting news bulletins, producing NIBs and OOVs, and writing clear, accurate scripts under tight deadlines. It also showcases my ability to report live outside the studio without autocue, delivering confident, engaging coverage in fast-paced environments.

TEDxTalk

TV Packages

I produce original, London-focused television news packages that explore community-driven stories. My reporting highlights underrepresented voices and examines how national issues play out at a grassroots level across the capital.

My work includes coverage of events such as the Stitch Festival, where I reported on sustainable fashion initiatives and the work of community groups tackling textile waste in East London. I have also covered environmental policy debates, including local opposition to the proposed expansion of the Beddington Lane waste incinerator in Croydon, focusing on residents’ concerns around health and environmental risks.

I film, script, and edit my own packages, using industry-standard software such as Adobe Premiere Pro to produce clear, engaging broadcast content.
