The State of Us Live Show: The career of a BBC Panorama reporter

The State of Us

Available for over a year

Darragh MacIntyre is an investigative journalist with BBC Panorama. When it comes to being at the forefront of breaking news stories, there’s not much Darragh hasn’t done over his career. From talking to paramilitaries and looking at the crimes of the Catholic Church, to getting the first UK interview with Virginia Giuffre. He joined Tara Mills and Declan Harvey in front of a live audience at the Belfast Media Festival to talk about the current crisis engulfing the BBC, his work as an investigative journalist, and the time he jacked it all in to become a Donegal pub landlord. His latest film, The Disappearance of Captain Robert Nairac is his third time to collaborate with Alison Millar. Over his career he has won a number of Royal Television Society Awards, Irish Film and Television Awards, and Celtic Media Awards. Get in touch: [email protected]
