Lucy Rowan

NCTJ-qualified multimedia journalist and producer

With six years of experience managing cross-platform content and digital projects for arts organisations and media outlets across London and Berlin, Lucy is seasoned at leveraging a variety of analytical tools, multimedia software, and distribution platforms to craft culturally sharp, audience-focused content.

Her work has been published by The Financial Times, The Berliner (formerly Exberliner), The Guardian, Œ Magazine, Sky News, South West Londoner, Newsquest Media Group, and the Goethe-Institut.

In 2023, Lucy was awarded a full scholarship from the Journalism Diversity Fund to complete her NCTJ Diploma in Multimedia Journalism. From over 400 applicants, she was one of four students to be shortlisted for the Data Journalism Award at the 2024 NCTJ Awards for Excellence.

As a neurodivergent woman from a low-income, single-parent household, Lucy is committed to fostering diversity and inclusion in the media. In doing so, she believes we can cultivate social cohesion and vivid cultural landscapes where everyone can flourish.

Guided by the conviction that journalism can create a more culturally aware and empathetic society, she actively covers underrepresented communities and topics, providing a platform for marginalised voices and overlooked perspectives.

Having predominantly worked in the arts and culture sector, Lucy specialises in covering community-oriented creative practices, subcultures, and socio-political movements. Her cross-disciplinary approach reflects her eclectic interests and academic training.

In 2019, Lucy graduated from King’s College London with a BA in Religion, Politics and Society. In her second year, she was awarded the Broadening Horizons Award to study abroad at the University of Toronto, Canada’s top-ranked institution. In 2017, she also received a scholarship to complete the MA summer course, Islam and Feminism, at Humboldt University in Berlin.
