Tales From The Media

Finding His Voice: Steven McCoy on Storytelling, Silence, and the Power of Media

For Steven McCoy, journalism isn’t just a career, it’s a lifeline. As a child, bullying left him silenced, struggling with selective mutism, unable to fully share his thoughts with the world. But where words failed, pencils, pens, and paper spoke. He built entire worlds on paper, channeling his imagination and voice through stories, drawings, and poems. That early refuge became the foundation of his calling: telling stories that matter and giving voice to those who feel unheard.
