Safe Hands | Media • Projects • Solutions

I help corporates and organisations talk to their audiences and customers in ways that showcase their work in the most professional way possible.

That means writing that’s clear and appropriate, and that has depth and is well-researched; it also means work that’s edited to high standards and is free of errors. I’m a former senior journalist – and I know when a story is worth telling.

Let me help you tell yours.

(The phrase “safe hands” in the game of cricket refers to a fielder who never drops a catch, and in journalism to the person who can be trusted with any job, no matter how tricky.)

I’m a senior journalist who worked as a reporter and newspaper sub-editor. I was an early pioneer in the online news space in South Africa, working on Independent Online, one of the largest platforms in the country. I have decades of experience in writing and editing in a range of news categories, latterly with a specialisation in news from the African continent. I’ve done production management, live blogging and social media management, and was IOL’s Deputy Editor for many years. – Renee Moodie

Renee Moodie is probably the most patient, helpful trainer I have had in a long, long time.

We have worked in large groups, small groups and on a one-on-one basis, and she never ceases to amaze me with her patience, how tuned in she is to individual needs, her understanding of people and the dynamics of working with difficult and often complex personalities.

I still remember the lesson on a green Mac at IOL many years ago like it was yesterday. What was to follow was a great career in online, print and broadcast media because I stood on the shoulders of a giant called Renee.

I am a big fan, you have an unrivalled talent for making reading – even of dry topics – such a pleasure. As I try to tell my researchers, there is elegance in simplicity.
