I’ve written for the Daily Mail, the Daily Telegraph, the Kent Messenger, the Huffington Post as a blogger, and a variety of student publications. I graduated from the NCTJ-accredited MA in Multimedia Journalism at the University of Kent in the summer of 2018.
I’ve been employed by MailOnline as a trainee reporter since September 2018 and have been writing for them since February 2019. Between September 2018 and February 2019 I was on placement at the Liverpool ECHO and then SWNS news agency in Birmingham.
From November 2015 to June 2016, I was the Editor of The Badger, Sussex University’s student newspaper. Previous to that, I was the paper’s Comment Editor.
Prior to coming university, I interned with and wrote on a freelance basis for GiveMeSport.com, mainly contributing on football and motorsport. You can find my body of work here: www.givemesport.com/harry-howard
Current work
I’m a reporter at MailOnline. As part of the graduate scheme which I’m enrolled in, I am set to do stints on a number of desks including Foreign News, Showbiz, Sport, Health and Femail. From February until September, I was working as a Home News reporter.

I’ve written a number of exclusive stories, including this one which became the leading story on the site.
Past work
From the middle of September 2018 to December 21st 2019 I worked as a reporter at the Liverpool ECHO as part of the MailOnline graduate scheme. I enjoyed it enormously and because it was my first job as a journalist, I learnt a lot.
All of my articles can be found here: https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/authors/harry-howard/
Some highlights included this very moving story about a mother with terminal cancer who was trying to ensure that her last months with her children were happy ones – Amazing ways mum with incurable cancer is making sure her children remember her
The ECHO was a digital-first publication so I was primarily an online reporter but I did get some bylines in the paper, including a front page story in September.
