Every week we have a news day, to get a feel for a busy day-to-day newsroom. Finding real journalism, creating a package and reporting it. I also try to get live interviews on, if I am presenting that week. I also operate the camera for some weeks as well as edit the packages weekly.

I did work experience over the Summer with the Yorkshire Evening Post and the Yorkshire Post. I was creating content and within three days of working there, my work was published in my name twice online and once in print. I also did court reporting and attended council meetings to create a story along-side some talented journalists.
