Even though many of our graduates will have progressed in their careers since completing a case study, they are still of interest to students who wish to gain an understanding of the world of work.

I write and read news bulletins for several of our local and national radio stations including Kiss FM, Planet Rock, Kerrang and Hallam FM. I also work on off diary stories and report on events and breaking news.

My typical day involves producing hourly news and entertainment bulletins for 2 or 3 different radio stations and recording them. This involves staying across national and international news as well as monitoring local sites such as the police, fire and council and responding to anything breaking. I also keep social media and websites up to date and chase originan news stories for different stations.

Having the freedom to investigate a certain story and tell it creatively. I also love all of our national brands and enjoy compiling targeted news bulletins for different audiences.

The nature of the job means I'm constantly working to very tight deadlines in a pressured environment which can get stressful!

My undergrad in Journalism, as well as my NCTJ qualifications (especially media law).

I've worked at Bauer Media from September 2014 to present. During that time I have been a multimedia news & sport reporter for Radio Aire, breakfast bulletin editor for Hallam FM, and am currently drivetime bulletin editor for Kiss FM, Planet Rock, Kerrang and Heat Radio.

In future I'd like to move across into TV.

Do as much work experience as you can! Experience is valued much more highly than adcademic qualifications so spend as much time as possible in a real working environment so you can find out what it's actually like. If you want to work in broadcast, try to get some experience of both the BBC and commercial radio/TV as the environments are totally different and it's worth seeing which you prefer.
