ABOUT

My name is Eve Livingston, and I’m a freelance news, features and investigative journalist primarily covering social affairs and inequalities. I’ve twice won ‘Write to End Violence Against Women’ awards for my coverage of gender-based violence, was named in Young Women Scotland’s 30 under 30 list in 2018, and in 2019 I was longlisted for an Amnesty UK Media Award and shortlisted for an Orwell Prize. In 2021 and 2022, I was shortlisted for British Press Awards as part of a team at the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, and in 2023 I was highly commended in MHP’s 30 To Watch and nominated in the Best Investigation category at the Freelance Journalism Awards.

I have bylines at The Guardian, The Observer, The Independent, iD, Dazed, Stylist, VICE, OpenDemocracy and lots of others, where I’ve written investigations, news, features, opinion and reviews. I’ve also worked as a producer for BBC Newsnight and appeared on Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour and ITV News amongst other broadcast appearances.

As well as working as a journalist, I’m interested in how we can make our industry and our work more inclusive and impactful. In my time at The Bureau of Investigative Journalism, I worked on community-led investigations and championed the practice of ‘participatory journalism’. I’ve since supported clients as diverse as film production companies and charities with participatory research and investigations, and worked for The Public Interest News Foundation as a Campaign Organiser.

I also have experience in communications, copywriting and editing (you can find my portfolio here) and have worked on all these things and more for clients including UNICEF, Festivals Edinburgh, The Eden Project and The National Lottery – so feel free to get in touch about any or all of the above, or if you’d like to talk to me about taking part in your TV/radio show/panel event.
