  • News without Agenda, AI Or Slop, Welcome To The Solo Bureau

    Welcome to the Solo Bureau.

    When I was made redundant from my position as a journalist from a major women's media network, I saw it as an opportunity to make news in a way that I have never been able to before. With no agenda and without the pressure to incorporate AI into everything.

    I have been doing this for a long time and have been able to do so because of commercial partners that paid my wages. This time I'm going solo, no money (yet) and even if I do end up taking $$, it will never (and I mean this with all my being) influence the content.

    So my promise to you, dear listener, is to update you, inform you, educate us both and then take ourselves out into the world armed with all the info we need to make our own choices and form our own opinions.

    Thanks for listening legend
