In 2006 McKee was awarded Sky News Young Journalist of the Year and was named as one of the"30 under 30 in media" by Forbes Magazine 10 years later.
A"Good Friday baby", McKee was a journalist of courage, style and integrity, said Seamus Dooley, the head of the National Union of Journalists Ireland.She was writing a book on the disappearance of young people during the British province's three decades of Protestant-Catholic violence that the 1998 deal largely ended.
He linked his post to a video of a TED talk McKee gave in 2017 encouraging churchgoers and fellow lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender young people to talk to one another to try and change religious teaching on the subject.The death of McKee, who was described by her publisher Faber as a rising star of investigative journalism, was condemned by both Irish Catholic nationalist and pro-British Protestant unionist politicians.

Julian Assange is no journalist: don't confuse his arrest with press freedomAs someone who has been imprisoned by a foreign government for publishing material that it didn't like, I have a certain sympathy with Assange. But my support stops there. PeterGreste This is indeed interesting as many well known media identities seem to be calling him a 'journalist'!? QuentinDempster PeterGreste 'so he [Assange] cannot claim to be a journalist or hide behind arguments in support of press freedom.

Disgusting article. On a better note let me show you a real journalists comment on the subject.
