About

Hi, I’m Cameron Hay. I’m a journalist and media professional with over 20 years’ experience in Scottish media. I’ve built a track record of investigative reporting and clear storytelling across print, digital, and broadcast platforms, as well as developing travel features and international coverage. I enjoy turning complex topics—policy, energy, technology—into accessible stories and building reliable relationships with diverse sources.

I recently completed an MA in History/Politics at the University of Glasgow, with a focus on the United States and United Kingdom, which has sharpened my analytical skills and broadened my understanding of contemporary political challenges. I’m now seeking graduate opportunities in media, communications, and public affairs where I can blend journalism with academic insight to support campaigns, policy discussions, and public engagement.
