It’s a farewell to TV’s Richard Askam with my old friends @BBCNWT. What better way to spend Valentine’s Day evening but back at Media City

Tough day at the office for Y3s forced to rip up their carefully planned running orders due to “breaking news” exercise. Felt even more like a real newsroom and lots of lessons learnt. Bring on assessment week. @SportJournUclan
