JOANNA CROSSE
Joanna started her professional life as a trainee reporter on the Doncaster Evening Post where she had the chance to work on a range of stories from the Miners’ Strike to social deprivation and crime. She went on to work in commercial radio in Scotland and Leeds where she covered everything from business affairs to the hunt for the Yorkshire Ripper.
​
Joanna's work took her to London where she became a network newsreader for IRN and LBC and had the opportunity to work on topical national stories and a range of human interest features. She moved to Breakfast Television – TVam - working as correspondent covering daily news stories.
​
Just when it looked like Joanna had the perfect life – a great job and recently married, she was sent to rehab by her TV boss. Three months later she came out with a completely different outlook and self-awareness which was to form the foundation stone for her work.
​
Joanna had three children and became a single parent, which alongside recovery from addiction, gave her some insights and understanding of life which she has brought into her work. Over 23 years ago Joanna moved to Bath and worked as a Crimestoppers reporter for many years as well being a voice and presentation coach for ITV, BBC, C4 and C5.
​
Joanna originated several documentary series – some of which were award winning – on social issues and it is an area that remains close to her heart.
​
It was Joanna's job as a Crimestoppers reporter that helped her to see how vitally important it is for people to find their voice and speak out about experiences. If not, how else are we to understand what is going on in the world around us and behind closed doors?
