大象传媒

大象传媒 Blast is a great opportunity to learn what it's like to be a reporter and work for the 大象传媒.

I joined the project in its first year at 大象传媒 Cornwall and had the chance to report live on the radio, write interesting stories for the website and meet loads of really interesting people who, like me, were passionate about music, film and entertainment.

Cornwall has a thriving local music scene, but at that time it didn't really have a voice so I wanted to try and give it the recognition it deserved. That's the great thing about 大象传媒 Blast. You can do what ever you want!

If it's something new, something exciting, something underrepresented - as long as people your age find it interesting then report on it and get it on 大象传媒 Blast.

Even if you have little or no experience in reporting there are so many people who'll help you and it鈥檚 a great insight into how the 大象传媒 operates. Since working at 大象传媒 Blast I went on to become a reporter and presenter at 大象传媒 Radio Cornwall where I used the skills I learn during blast every day in the newsroom.

Now I'm working as an Assistant Producer at 大象传媒 Radio 1 with the likes of Chris Moyles, Scott Mills and Annie & Grimmy on 大象传媒 Switch. Even here I'm drawing on my experience at 大象传媒 Blast, doing interviews, writing for online, editing, filming and coming up with programme ideas.
