Its taken a while, but I’m finally ready to get this blog up and running. Credit has to go to Nick for spending countless hours with me both in and out of the newsroom setting this up and putting the work in.
For more info about me just click on the ‘About’ page at the top and if you wish to contact me my email address is on the ‘Contact’ page.
Mainly I intend this site to be a showcase for my work, both through posts on this blog (such as the match reports I write for various websites) and also through my portfolio, which contain the aforementioned reports and any other material I have and will produce in the future.
I’ll also comment on any stories that are currently in the news agenda and pieces of journalism that I found particularly interesting and/or well written. You can check out my Delicious feed on the right for my favourite links.
At the moment I’ve got a bit of down time from university and today I visited Sky News in preparation for my month long placement there in the summer. It was a lot to take in in terms of the technology used and the way things are run but everyone seemed friendly and accommodating, and I can’t wait to start there in July.
Later on this month I go out into the big wide world on my first real work experience placement with Kent Online, the online and radio section of the Kent Messenger group.
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous, but it should be a fantastic opportunity to get some experience and bylines. No doubt I’ll be blogging my progress on this site over the two weeks that I am there.
