Nuala Mcgovern From Dublin To New York To London And The BBC

From Dublin To New York To London And The BBC.

- Mirela Sula

When I met Nuala not long before Christmas 2016 at the BBC, she had been presenting an uplifting and inspirational programme on BBC’s ‘100 Women’. In fact, Nuala is involved in many projects, not only for women but covering different topics and contributing as a senior BBC journalist, travelling all around the world.

What really impressed me while getting to know Nuala in person is not only her knowledge, which is galactic, but especially her authenticity and her attitude towards people and life. She is a very humble and down to earth person who shows respect for others and adds immense value to the lives of those she reaches through her work. Despite the fact that Nuala is probably one of the first to be informed and then informs others of the news (most of the time bad news), she has the innate ability to honour her inner peace and at the same time be in this world at a high level of consciousness. This reveals a lot about her, why she is doing what she does and why she became the person Nuala is today. Before interviewing her, my research could not find much about her personal life and I feel privileged that Nuala has chosen to disclose so much about her life story and what she cares about exclusively for Global Woman magazine.

How would you describe 2016 for you and the outcomes? How productive was it for you?

The word that comes to mind for 2016 is, rollercoaster. There were so many stories that had far-reaching consequences for the ordinary man and woman that there was a level of engagement I have rarely seen in 20 years covering the news.  I’m privileged with my job to be able to speak to people directly affected by stories we see in the news.
