Every Pair Tells a Story
I went to Hackney to report on how the local council is responding to the needs of families in the borough and what support is currently being offered to children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
During my time at City of London, I gained experience producing packages for a live 30-minute news programme under tight turnaround deadlines. I regularly worked to same-day briefs, ensuring scripts, audio and edits were broadcast-ready within limited timeframes. This experience has taught me the value of collaboration, adaptability and clear communication in producing live news.
Alongside this, I managed the technical desk during live broadcasts, overseeing studio operations to ensure the programme ran smoothly. I also produced packages for other reporters and contributed to live, on-the-day content, including coordinating and conducting live interviews during the show. In addition, I presented the sport segment, developing confidence and clarity in a fast-paced live news environment.
