Show Notes

In today's Shattered Lives, we discuss what it is like to spend a life in crime. Reporting, at least.


Michael O'Toole and Paul Healy talk to Ciaran Bradley about the reasons for choosing journalism, crime reporting in particular, as well as the dangers and thrills of the job.


We also look at the stories that remain memorable, the threats and opportunities for journalism and media more widely, and why it is among the best jobs for a young person to choose if they have the hunger for it.


Shattered Lives is produced for Reach Ireland by Ciaran Bradley.
