*Editors note: Stephen received his post-graduate Journalism training at the Universty of Ulster Journalism School, where most class-members went on to prominent roles in the BBC. But he quickly decided a conventional journalist lifestyle -strict deadlines, stressed editors and no freedom to travel spontaneously – was simply not sexy!
However, Stephen did integrate his media skills into his tour-guiding and travel career
- the importance of constant questioning of so-called ‘facts’
- providing unbiased balance when teaching politics (particularly re N. Ireland)
- and crucially – providing context when teaching the history of Ireland to foreigners, who are interested but may know very little before arriving.
