KIRAN STACEY

By Henrietta Taylor

What was the module you liked the most or the least?

I enjoyed doing the local patch work, but it could also be quite a grind. Honestly, I have never had to work as hard to get stories in my life as I did for patch. It’s been so much easier since then!

What has been the highlight of your career so far?

I always enjoyed doing elections, and I was involved in the 2018 election coverage for the Financial Times. As part of that, I did a video series from swing constituencies across the country. That video series was really well produced and very well received. I was also quite proud of my coverage of the Pakistani elections when Imran Khan came to power.

If you could interview anyone, dead or alive, who would it be and why?

From the dead ranks: Cicero, someone who witnessed history frst hand and had a great way of telling a story. Alive: Xi Jinping, as the most infuential man of our times, but nobody knows anything about him.
