In addition to her editorial work, Zing has also made a name for herself as a presenter. She hosted VICE World News' short-form video series, Empires of Dirt, which delves into the dark history of Europe's colonial empires. She has also helmed VICE's acclaimed sex and dating podcast, My First Time, and the BBC podcast, United Zingdom, which was recognised by The Guardian as one of the best podcasts of 2020. Zing was the inaugural presenter for the Women's Prize for Fiction podcast, produced in association with Baileys.
Before her role as Executive Editor, Zing launched Broadly, VICE's award-winning millennial women's website in the UK in 2014. She also served as the first News Editor for the online news desk at Dazed. In 2018, she published a four-book series titled Forgotten Women, in collaboration with Octopus, which uncovers the untold stories of inspiring women who have been marginalised by history.
Zing's work has garnered recognition and praise. She was highly commended in the British Journalism Awards 2020 as a "one-woman multimedia practitioner" who embodies the strengths of modern journalism. Zing was also named one of London's most influential people in the Evening Standard Progress List 1000, alongside Guardian Editor-in-Chief Kath Viner. Attitude magazine recognised her as an LGBTQ trailblazer in their Attitude 101 list.
Zing has made appearances on various media platforms, including BBC News, Sky News, BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour, and BBC TWO's Victoria Derbyshire Show. She has also shared her insights and moderated panels at notable events such as SXSW, Web Summit, Women of the World Festival, Port Eliot Festival, and Isle of Wight Literary Festival.

Not necessarily.
