Belinda Lopez is a young Australian journalist and writer based in Europe- though her itinerant reportage has also taken her to Southeast Asia and Latin America.  And she suddenly feels awkward writing about herself in the third person.

Never mind. She now works as a producer for Radio Netherlands Worldwide’s The State We’re In, a show all about the way people treat each other around the world (a delightfully vague brief that basically means both Belinda and the audience get to hear from all sorts of people, from everywhere).

She was an Erasmus Mundus scholar from 2009-2011, studying for a Master of Arts specialising in globalisation and global political economy at three leading universities in Aarhus (Denmark), Amsterdam and London.

In 2009 she was awarded the Most Outstanding Student Award by the University of Technology, Sydney’s Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences for her investigative and international reporting.

Belinda has filed print, radio and multimedia stories from around Indonesia, where she worked for a year and a half. She began her career as a reporter for News Ltd. newspapers in Sydney, Australia- back when her version of itinerant reportage meant the mean streets of suburbia. It’s a place she might return to, eventually.
