I'm Natasha Johansson, a freelance multi-platform journalist with a passion for music and broadcasting. I am currently a researcher and broadcast assistant on the Stephen Nolan show on BBC Radio 5 Live.

In broadcasting, I have previously worked with BBC One's 'Turn Back Time', BBC Three's Frankenstein's Wedding and the History Channel's 'Crimes That Shook Britain,' and independently I have presented my own folk music show on Leeds Student Radio, and TV show featuring local and regional acoustic music.

As a writer, I have contributed regularly to newspapers (Manchester Evening News, Salford Advertiser, Leeds Student, Stocksbridge Look Local) and have written reviews and features for online magazines including Kerrang Radio and Silent Radio, amongst others.

I have just completed an NCTJ and MA in Journalism at the University of Salford. In 2012 I was highly commended as an "Emerging Talent" at the 02 North West Media Awards.
