"My name's Jack and I'm very passionate about journalism I love reading and finding out new news information in my information Television shows I enjoyed was Succession and The Soprano's I'm very engaged and passionate about sports And I very much enjoy the movie industry and music industry within the art's sector. And I strongly enjoy talking about and writing about these topics within the media industry."

I'm highly passionate about journalism.
This course has allowed me to develop my skills and professionalism.
I have been able to expand my creative freedom with a wide range of different news stories and job roles and I have been able to have fun along the way.
I have been able to enjoy this experience and I have enjoyed working with my media colleague's.

I have been able to expand my knowledge about the city of Wolverhampton whilst working on this news stories
I've learned many new skills and I've been able to adapt and make changes to the challenges that have come along my way through the course and improved the content of my work throughout time.

The job I enjoyed the most was being a news reporter as it allowed me to develop a good research plan before I start filming. Then I was able to capture the story using a wide wide variety of different camera shots and angles.
Then in my opinion came the most challenging but was getting the best interview sources for the story.

I really enjoyed the radio content as it allowed me to be expressive and I found using the radio studio very.fun and it allowed me to be creative with my news story when creating a radio package.

And I thought it was very fun and interesting to work out the differences between radio packages and television packages. It's important to get the correct visuals and sounds and locations for the best stories.

Making contacts was a good part of the process as these were sources I could return to even if I wasn't able to gather a story for the current deadline I could also return back to them at a different time.

But I was able to build up local services which provided a wide range of different types of services for different stories or looking keeping a eye on local events which was happening in Wolverhampton.

And these is where I could ask the public participation for a story and this is was fun to get a wide range of thoughts on a situation

But overall I found the multimedia journalism course this year to be a very fun and enjoyable experience.
