It's time for STV !

This is my mini-super-short-update:

Journalism degree: done!
First job at Thomson Reuters international news agency: done!
Second job at Scottish Television: Started !

Now I’ll try to fill in the gaps a bit in the next few posts with the best ways to go about getting your first job in the media that I feel have helped me. In short you’ve got to be determined, work hard, prove you can do it and do LOADS of work experience ! Oh and LOVE IT !!!

How does it feel ? AMAZING ! A lot has changed in my life in a very short time but it’s all been worth it. I’m now starting an amazing new job at STV as a News Assistant ! I’ve learnt more than I could ever have imagined at City University and Reuters over the past few months and I have never felt so much like I can achieve anything as long as I really dedicate myself to it !

City Radio London 2011 was launched today! It wasn’t a totally smooth beginning considering the builders chopped through the electricity cables just around the corner bringing things to an all too sudden end, but tomorrow (Wednesday 1st June 2011) will be even better!!

I’ll be on air presenting the Mid-Morning show with Julia Greenaway from 10 AM till 12 ! We’ll be on air LIVE from 8.30 AM till 13.00 PM EVERY weekday for the next two weeks !

We’ve got a great show lined up, we’ve even got an interview with comedian Milton Jones. You’ll know him from his appearances on Mock the Week and on stage with big comedy hot shots like Michael McIntyre ! We’ll be chatting about whether cows like to laugh with him !

And have you ever heard of an ‘Ultra-Marathon’? Well I hadn’t either until I met Kelly Clark ! Find out more on tomorrow’s show !

You can listen live here: http://bit.ly/CITYRADIO

To find out more about all the shows follow us on Facebook: City Radio London

And we’d love to hear from you during the show on Twitter! @cityradiolondon

If you’re wondering what City Radio London is all about here’s the ‘low-down’ it’s the official City University Radio station produced entirely by City Journalism MA students ! You can expect loads of news, sports, entertainment, business and coverage of all the big news stories! Plus it’s all absolutely LIVE online !
