Alice Knight

This week’s front page for the Gazette.. So proud of this story, hopefully this will help spread awareness - as the Frocester Hill junction has always been so dodgy… Ever since I could drive I’ve been so worried about using the junction! gazetteseries.co.uk/news/23289774.…

Some of my favourite stories include revealing that Starbucks and KFC were coming to Stroud, I also interviewed Rishi Sunak twice and I even covered a royal visit from Princess Anne. Looking forward to having a break and then moving to the Birmingham area very soon! (3/3)

It has been such a pleasure to put together so many interesting stories from across the Stroud, Dursley, Thornbury, Yate and surrounding areas. I also enjoyed my brief spell also covering Cirencester and Malmesbury! (2/3)

I have made the sad decision to leave Newsquest (Gazette, Stroud News and Journal & Wilts and Glos Standard) after three years. I want to say a big thank you to all my contacts, colleagues and friends who have helped me throughout my career. (1/3)

@Flowers_S @UoGjourno @UoG_CommsBA Awh thank you Sophie - hope the new job is going well! :)

@_aknighty @UoGjourno @UoG_CommsBA Well done Alice! Bet you were so inspirational 😊

Lovely to speak to the first-year students at @UoGjourno @UoG_CommsBA today! Also, I’m pretty impressed with the map I made of my patch 🤓

@JournoErika @UoGjourno @UoG_CommsBA Awh thank you Erika - yeah please keep in touch, would love to come back!

@_aknighty @UoGjourno @UoG_CommsBA You were such an inspiration Alice. Thank you for coming back to chat to our new students. You're doing great work telling stories from Wilts and Glos. Keep being brilliant....and hope to see you again soon.

So glad I had the opportunity to press the PM on Stroud Maternity... I was born there 23 years ago but currently mothers are being kicked out after 8 hours of giving birth Read more below 👇

A week in the life... in front pages: ⚫️The SNJ - On Friday I interviewed Rishi Sunak about reopening Stroud Maternity Hospital ⚫️The Standard - former Deer Park teacher banned ⚫️The Gazette - plans for old Dursley Oxfam & row over Thornbury Lidl continues

@AndyShade8 Hi Andrew, apologies for my late reply - I’ve just checked the court list and says he is due back in court later this month. We will probably do another update once he’s been sentenced. Thanks Alice

@_aknighty Hi Alice, do you know if there is likely to be an update on your story below, or whether it's possible to get one from the court in some way? stroudnewsandjournal.co.uk/news/24156419.…

@ulanimae So proud of you! Smashing it!! 💛

From morning to afternoon. A new, exciting challenge presenting the lunchtime news this week! Some emotionally tough stories, but a fab team as always @VerityWishart @freddie_bunn

@Mcossalifrancis @worcesternews Awh best of luck - thanks for all of your help with our titles! :)

My time at the @worcesternews is almost up. 💔 It’s been a privilege to have brought the news to you all. Can’t thank you all enough. Plenty of ups, some downs. Stepping away from journalism for now but hopefully not forever. Ciao!

@RyanE_journo @swindonadver Best of luck Ryan!

Some personal news📢 After two years and a few months, this week is my last at the @swindonadver. It's been a privilege to have an important role in a great newsroom, and I'm proud of the successes we've had over that time. Excited for the next opportunity starting Monday!

@ulanimae @alexlovelltv So so proud of you!! 🥰

Excited to wake up the West Country this week! ✨✨(Featuring the loveliest note from @alexlovelltv ☺️)

@TristanCorkPost Keep seeing people say that Kingswood (South Gloucestershire) is in Gloucestershire.. There’s a difference between Kingswood (South Gloucestershire) and the Kingswood village near Wotton (Gloucestershire) … about 16 miles!! 😅

Kingswood By-Election: A 🧵thread... A guide for Westminster politicos/journos/hacks/etc heading down the M4... hopefully all Qs A'd here First off -Read this: Kingswood by-election - everything you need to know 👇 your handy guide bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-n… bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-n…

“Thank you for so so much for your lovely beautifully written piece in the Stroud News and Journal. “You packed in so many accurate details - I’m tempted to use it as my CV. “Also it was so kind to paint such a ravishing picture. “I am so grateful. I hope you have a great 2024."

Totally random morning - received this absolutely lovely postcard from Jilly Cooper She lives in Bisley and was made a dame in the New Year Honours - so we put together a nice story in the SNJ... this has (already) made my year!

@maisiealilly Congratulations on your new role Maisie - you’re gonna smash it!! 💛✨

Some news! 🚨 After 4+ years, I’ll be leaving Reach PLC in January. Considering I joined Glos Live a couple of weeks after getting my A Level results, not knowing a thing about journalism, I think I’ve done alright….

@Paulwiltshire @benfalconer Good to see you Paul!

Lovely morning in Stroud catching up with @benfalconer and then @_aknighty. But by far the best part of the day was telling someone touting a conspiracy 'newspaper' I refuse to name that she ought be ashamed of herself for pushing such absolute bollocks.

@ulanimae @zosiamelanczuk1 so proud of you!! 💛

A nice surprise to be reporting with @zosiamelanczuk1 from the A40 last night, where a light aircraft had landed on the central reservation of the road. No injuries reported.

@OliverJSmith @WiltsAndGlosStd @RoyalAgUni Hi Oliver - sorry about my late reply. Just got an update from the RAU and police today wiltsglosstandard.co.uk/news/23455847.…

Hi @_aknighty @WiltsAndGlosStd In the light of media coverage of sickening hunt behaviour this week, any chance of you chasing @RoyalAgUni for an update on the suspensions please? Students suspended after dead animals attached to vehicles at RAU rally wiltsglosstandard.co.uk/news/23314431.…
