I collaborated with the editor of topMBA.com to research and plan new articles; commissioned articles to junior members of staff and freelancers and I also liaised with colleagues across the company (e.g. writers, reporters and photographers) ensuring deadlines were met.I also wrote and edited pieces and proofread and checked articles for accuracy.

During my work experience I was able to see how the gallery of a news television station functions. I filmed footage and I am eager to build on this further. • I edited news packages and OLAYs with Premier Pro, which were used during different news shows. • I also learnt how to use ENPS efficiently.

Work Experience

Jan 2015 - Jan 2015
After my Press Association Training I was able to take part in work experience for the video desk. I worked closely with other Video Journalists out on jobs and I was able to interview for content which was later used on the video wire. I interviewed mourning fans at the David Bowie mural in Brixton, Junior Doctors at the picket line, and heterosexual couple Rebecca Steinfeld and Charles Keidan at the High Court about civil partnerships laws. I was sent out to film footage independently, and I also edited rough cuts and packages for the video wire.
