In Conversation with Rachel Rawlins of Global Voices
By kamla bhatt • Apr 16th, 2006Category: Life, London
London-based Rachel developed an early interest and curiosity in world culture. In the early 1980s Rachel spent time in South Africa and that turned out to be a life-changing event. It was after her African experience that Rachel decided that she wanted to be a journalist.
She applied to the BBC for a trainee radio reporter program and the “rest is history,” as she says.
While at the BBC, Rachel worked at the African service for 10 years and moved on to work at their training program. She also spent time working for BBC online.
When she left the BBC to join Global Voices Rachel was working for BBC’s daily breakfast program called The World Today.
Rachel has been a blogger for a couple of years and her blog is called Frizzy Logic. In the early years Rachel kept her blog identity under wraps. She is feeling a huge sense of relief wash over her now that she can finally reveal her identity, and that explains the cryptic tag line for her blog: emergence and premergence.
Rachel lives in London with her family.
