The disappearance of a little girl in the United States has been used to try to con people on multiple Sheffield Community Facebook groups.
One of the very first stories I wrote at university was an investigative report exposing disinformation about a missing girl. Using OSINT tools, I traced the origins of a photo and uncovered a scam designed to mislead the public. This resulted in the Harmony Montgomery story which was later published in The Star, Sheffield’s leading newspaper. This experience reinforced my passion for uncovering the truth and set the foundation for my work in investigative reporting.

Arla Foods has faced criticism following the launch of their new Bovaer trial.
Bovaer is a methane suppressing cattle feed supplement, aimed at reducing the environmental impact of dairy farming.
It's been approved for use by UK regulators, but has caused some debate amongst consumers, with some threatening to boycott Arla products.
Some UK social media users have even posted videos pouring milk down their sink or toilet in protest.
After seeing a post on Facebook from a family-run dairy farm, about their decision not to use Bovaer, I decided to explore how the trial might affect independent farms. This led me to Our Cow Molly, a dairy farm in Sheffield, where I met the owner, Eddie Andrews he shared valuable insights into how his farm is responding to the shift in consumer demand.
​
Whilst at the farm, I focused on capturing strong footage to create an OOV and SOT for the ShefNews bulletin, ensuring the clips would help tell the story effectively.
