Christopher Clarke – Investigative Journalist

About Me

I’m Christopher Clarke, an independent journalist committed to uncovering the stories that shape lives in Luton. With a sharp focus on local crime, justice, and public safety, I investigate how policies, institutions, and lived experiences collide, often in ways the national press overlooks. I believe deeply in journalism that informs, serves, and reflects the people it’s about.

My reporting is built on trust, persistence, and public interest. I work closely with local voices, from frontline workers to overlooked residents , to highlight systemic issues, expose wrongdoing, and tell the stories that matter most to communities navigating uncertainty and change.

Mission & Values

Accuracy over speed - I never publish without verification. Trust begins with the truth.
Platform for the unheard - I centre stories around people, not institutions or spin.
Investigative integrity - Fairness, transparency, and accountability are non-negotiable.
Reporting with impact - Journalism should challenge power and prompt real conversations.

Reporting Focus

My investigative scope reflects both urgent local challenges and broader structural issues affecting Luton. These are the beats where I dig deep and report with purpose:

Police-community relations

Youth violence & safety

Social housing disorder

Criminal justice reporting

Collaborate With Me

I’m currently seeking opportunities to collaborate with editors, producers, and investigative teams on regional crime, justice, and social accountability stories. Whether it’s contributing on deadline or working on deeper investigations, I bring editorial diligence, local access, and a determination to report with clarity and care.

If you're commissioning writers or reviewing submissions, I’d welcome the chance to discuss how I can add value to your reporting team or publication.
