Pierfrancesco Loreto

Hello everyone,

I am a multilingual multimedia journalist/content producer with experience at national or major regional titles in my country (Italy) as a reporter, producer, news assistant and social media specialist.

After a five-year period as a freelance translator in London, I decided to go back to the media and communications field. Hence, in 2018 I earned my second MA, this time in Digital Journalism at Goldsmiths, University of London.

I like to describe myself as a creative thinker capable of producing content suitable for different types of media.

Speaking different languages, I am always on the lookout for interesting stories from all over the world. That is why I have created Your World Reporter and I really hope you can join me in this new adventure.
