Broadcast Journalist & Lecturer Extraordinaire!!

Footy!

So the title race is still on….Cheslea could still win the Premiership but only if Man U draw or lose this weekend, and we win! If not, something tells me Man U might just win on goal difference! It’s great for the neutral fans though as it’s going right down to the wire, which is fab! It will be interesting to see whether Avram Grant will remain at Stamford Bridge, no matter what happens.

Something else that struck me over the weekend is that it’s been more than a year since Madeline McCann went missing in Portugal. It’s extraordinary how such a news item has continued to generate such enormous media interest for so long. From a journalist’s point of view, an anniversary of a birth, or death etc is a common opportunity to follow up on a big story, and allows us a fresh angle on it, eg “One year on and still no news on Maddie” etc. I recommend you always have:

a) a contacts book (still very useful even though all numbers and emails are on our computers and mobiles now!)

b) a diary with such important dates marked on it. It can be useful to delve into on a quiet news day to find some additional news items, and can actually throw new light on the subject.

It’s exciting times at Uni next week as the BJTC is coming to look at our course and continue the validation process, so it’s all best behaviour and time to impress with our talents! So we’re really knuckling down and preparing for that in the department.

Anyway, time to lay out my Chelsea top ready for the weekend….!
