OLIVIA LACE-EVANS
Olivia Lace-Evans is a video journalist for the BBC and is currently based in New York. She is an alumna of the Columbia Journalism School’s MSc Documentary Program. Her reporting has explored topics including the 2016 US presidential election, human trafficking, New York politics, child abuse and LGBT issues.
Lace-Evans is a very interesting journalist with a unique style of narration, which effectively grabs the attention of her public on whatever the subject she writes about. She usually starts her stories with simple extracts of information about the subject (such as in her story "In Six Days I'll Lose My Voice Forever", about an American man who is about to get his tongue removed, and wants to deliver his last words ever to the people he loves).
As the story progresses, Lace-Evans includes more and more elements: she includes the testimonies of people with authority or knowledge on the subject of the story (appeal to ethos), she shows factual knowledge on the matter at hand (i.e. statistics and projections), she tries, and successes, in keeping her stories as sentimental and realistic as possible.
Lace-Evans is has a very intriguing way of presenting the moving, extraordinary stories of people all around the UK and the world, and manages to conserve a particularly realistic essence in her narratives. That is what makes her stand out as a journalist.
