Overseas Media Requiring UK Research

Mara Intelligence can provide the British investigative element of an international story.

This may involve finding people in Britain, developing sources, conducting interviews, examining British records and archives, checking claims, pursuing leads or undertaking field enquiries.

I welcome commissions from media organisations and journalists throughout North America, Europe, Japan, Asia, Australia and internationally.
