Shingi Mararike

Shingi Mararike helped to launch News UK’s diversity initiative, the News Academy, while he was still a student and was hired as The Sunday Times’s first apprentice in 2017. A reporter since 2018, his story about children using corrosive fluid as a weapon kickstarted the paper’s “Acid Attack Britain” campaign. He is also interested in reporting on social mobility, race and some of the causes behind serious youth violence. Shingi has written for ten different sections of The Sunday Times in two years and regularly appears on Times Radio.

In 2021 Shingi left The Sunday Times to become a Correspondent at Sky News.
