About

Anna Holligan – BBC Foreign Correspondent | Creator of News from the Cycle Path | Co-Founder of The Bike BureauAs a seasoned foreign correspondent for the BBC, I have spent over a decade reporting on pivotal global stories from Europe and beyond, bringing complex narratives to life with clarity, compassion, and nuance. Based in the Netherlands, my role gives me a unique vantage point to cover major events and trends across the continent, with a particular focus on UK-Dutch relations, European politics, climate issues, and social change.Creator: News from the Cycle Path In 2020, I combined my love of storytelling with sustainability, launching News from the Cycle Path. This innovative series brings audiences closer to stories through a fresh perspective—reporting while cycling through the Netherlands. It connects the day-to-day lives of people with broader themes like mobility, sustainability, and culture, all while embracing the power of storytelling from the ground (or bike saddle) up.Co-Founder: @TheBikeBureau With @TheBikeBureau, my co-founder Kate Vandy and I have taken the concept of sustainable journalism to the next level. We created the first mobile, solar-powered broadcast studio on a bicycle—an agile, eco-friendly way to deliver rapid, on-the-ground news coverage. Our vision is to help newsrooms worldwide adopt more sustainable practices while maintaining high-quality journalism.Through my work, I aim to inspire audiences by making global stories feel local and personal, and I’m passionate about showing how sustainability and innovation can reshape the way we tell these stories.
