Steve Boggan

Journalist and author.

(2024 British Press Awards - shortlisted team: Campaign of the year (Act Now on Asbestos, Sunday Times). Shortlisted: 2023 British Press Awards, Feature Writer of the Year. Shortlisted team: 2023 Society of Editors' Media Freedom Awards, Campaign of the Year (Act Now on Asbestos, Sunday Times). Shortlisted: 2023 Fetisov International Journalism Awards, Contribution to civil rights reporting.) * Scroll down for examples of my work. I HAVE BEEN A JOURNALIST for more than 35 years. During that time, I have written for, or contributed to, The Independent (as Chief Reporter and co-founder of its investigations unit), Times, Guardian, Mail, London Evening Standard, Sunday Times Magazine, Observer Magazine, Independent and Guardian Saturday magazines, National Geographic and YOU Magazine. During my years writing news, I covered the war in Iraq, the war in Kosovo (from Albania and Macedonia), 9/11 in New York, the Concorde Crash in Paris, the death of Princess Diana, the mass shooting of schoolchildren in Dunblane and a host of other major stories. I warned about big data mining a decade before it became a crisis, proved Britain's 'impregnable' ID cards and passports could be hacked and faked, and listened while Myra Hindley told me about the secret code she used to write letters to Ian Brady in prison. While writing features, I took ayahuasca in the Amazon for The Times, followed a £10 note round the UK for The Guardian, and was threatened by Nicholas van Hoogstraten for uncovering the riches he hid after his murder trial. I watched as South African patients in a persistent vegetative state woke up after being given a sleeping pill; helped to free an innocent IRA 'bomber'; proved the Conservatives were taking foreign donations from heroin traffickers; and had airline safety law changed after the Lockerbie bombing. I've written two books, Follow the Money and Gold Fever, that were each chosen as Book of the Week by BBC Radio 4. Follow the Money was also a Time Out Book of the Week. And I was once included in Time Out’s “Culture 100” list of the most creative and influential people in the UK media industry. I co-directed the movie Follow the Money, which was named Best Documentary at the Louisville Film Festival, shortlisted for Best Documentary at the SoHo International Film Festival in New York, and commended in the LA Film Review Awards. It was released on Amazon Prime in November 2019. I have also taught journalism at Goldsmiths and City, Universities of London. Features and long form commissions welcomed gratefully at [email protected] Some examples of my work are offered below, in no particular order.

Laura H. Ball

Freelance Writer

Writing about art, design, politics and parenting for charities and business. We all know that words matter. They are an essential element of your brand, defining who you are, what you do and what you stand for. But they don’t always come easy. When you’re passionate about what you do, reducing complex issues or company values into a few short sentences can seem impossible and getting it right can take precious time away from your business or mission. This is where I come in, crafting copy and content that speaks to your people and grows communities around your brand. Which leaves you free to concentrate on the important stuff, like serving your clients and saving the world. Goodbye endless brainstorm meetings, hello happy clients and supporters. Email me today to make it happen.
