We’re back at it for our ‘Two Minutes With’ series, this time starring Hannah Newton!

Hannah is a Freelance Journalist joining us for a few weeks, and we couldn’t be happier to have her. She’s been published in The Times, The Guardian and The Telegraph – to name a few! But aside from her career expertise, it’s been great to have another person on board, and she’s been incredible in sharing ideas and offering support.

So let’s get to know her:

Name: Hannah Newton

Job Title: Freelance Journalist

Joined Carnsight: Freelancing support Feb 2025

Why PR?: Well…I am not officially PR, I am from the dark side, on the other side of the tracks. My curiosity into how PR works from the inside got the better of me, my love of journalism comes from a probing desire to meet people and winkle out their story. It is fascinating seeing how hardworking the Carnsight PR’s work with an agenda that is remarkably similar to mine.

Preferred social media channel: Instagram every time, I love a visual story, but Bluesky is slowly winning my heart, I just hope more Europeans and Brits join the anti-Musk party.

How do you have coffee in the morning: Black and hot, from my trusty Bialetti stove top.

Dream job as a child:  Does being a bird and soaring across the sky count?

Sum yourself up in three words: cheeky, curious and compassionate

Star sign: Gemini – which is apt, as I am also a twin mum!

Grow up and born: I was born in Kent and grew-up on a farm on the Kent and Sussex border, my roots are still firmly planted in that soil.

Favourite book to date: anything by Margaret Attwood, Cloud Cuckoo Land, Anthony Doerr, Educated, Tara Westover, Home Going, Yaa Gyasi, Wise Children, Angela Carter, Still Life, Sarah Winman, I could go on…

Best Movie: Bugsy Malone

Favourite dog breed: anything that doesn’t bite or make me sneeze

Any pets: Boba Fett, our fluffy tabby cat who needs a lot of cuddles. Muffin the chicken is in her 6th year and still producing eggs, go: Muffin, plus the regular wild birds, Muffin’s local crew, robins, blue tits, black birds, coal tits, jackdaws, magpies a visiting pheasant and a limping pigeon, oh some gold fish that keep having babies…

Favourite word: democracy

Least favourite word: fascism

Playlist: BBC Radio 6, anything by Giles Peterson, Ezra Collective, Nils Frahm, Kraftwerk, The Beatles, Belle & Sebastian, Jill Scott…

Destination: Cycling round the world

Never guess: I once lived abroad and used a pseudonym

Name three things make happy: friendship, cycling in a remote landscape, sharing a feast with my family

Thanks for joining us Hannah!
