I am a British journalist and broadcaster currently based in Sydney.

My latest podcast, (In)Justice: Killer Privilege, launched exclusively on Wondery+ in March 2025 and is Wondery’s third most successful show ever, having reached #2 in the Apple Podcast Series charts. The investigative series, written and hosted by me, tells the story of grieving mother Katja Faber as she fights to achieve justice for her son Alex, who died in shocking circumstances in 2014. It was called “gripping” by The Sunday Times’ top podcast reviewer, was splashed across a billboard in New York’s Times Square, and has even prompted a new motion to be discussed in Swiss parliament.

I am currently night-editing The Observer UK's daily newsletter, The Sensemaker, alongside feature-writing for national newspapers in the UK and Australia. As a writer, I specialise in news review features, true crime investigations, celebrity and political profiles, women’s health, travel, fitness and lifestyle. My writing has been published in The Times, Sunday Times, The Telegraph, Guardian Australia, Stylist, Cosmopolitan, The Daily Mail, Body + Soul and The Australian Weekend Magazine. My work regularly leads to appearances on TV and radio, with credits including BBC 5Live, BBC London and London Live TV.

Before going freelance in 2024, I spent seven years as an editor and writer on the features desk at The Standard in London, where I hosted the newspaper’s chart-topping podcast series, London Love Stories with Katie Strick, with guests including Richard Curtis and Sadiq Khan. I am currently writing my debut novel, We Met, inspired by the podcast.

I also run media coaching workshops for brands, agencies and PRs, and regularly appear on media discussion panels.

“Katie ran a brilliant session for my clients all about how to get featured in the press. She is so knowledgeable and shares her insight in an approachable way, breaking it down and making it really easy to understand. Her workshop directly led to print coverage for a few of the participants. She is an absolute delight to work with!”
