Eileanor Crilly
Hello! I’m El, a true crime and meme junkie from Northern Ireland who probably spends too much time online. I’m a nerd with a variety of special interests, including analogue horror, 19th-century American Gothic literature, anime, true crime, metal music, digital art, and internet culture. As of right now, I host a radio show here on Radio ENRG and am an editor for Trill Magazine. My journalism journey started back in March 2020 when I wrote an article for the BBC Young Reporter NI competition. After that, I landed an internship with Trill Magazine in August 2021 and eventually became a paid writer there. I mostly wrote about internet culture, TikTok trends, memes, and alternative music. In February 2022, I started an internship with The Canary, a UK-based news website. There, I completed a four-part series on the NHS’ eating disorder services. In July 2023, I switched from being a writer to an editor at Trill Magazine, as I wanted to learn some different skills and diversify my experience in the field of journalism. I started a Master’s in Journalism at Edinburgh Napier University in September 2023. There are so many branches of journalism I’d love to go into, but ideally, I’d love to be a court reporter or an investigative journalist. However, I would also settle for being a podcast host!
