Hi there! My name is Jessica Bahr, and welcome to my website.

I am a journalist, writer and online content producer.

My studies and professional pursuits have taken me through four years at the University of Queensland, countless hours in newsrooms, a semester in New York, a study trip to India, work in a country town, a coastal office, a stint in PR and communications, freelance writing, and online content production for the BBC.

I am currently working as a digital journalist at SBS News, one of Australia’s most trusted public broadcasters. Throughout my career I have covered everything from general news, to politics and international relations, to climate change and social issues, to entertainment, to lifestyle and wellness culture.

My freelance work has been published by Refinery29 Australia, Mamamia, Fashion Journal, Punkee, Whimn, and more.
