Despite the miserable face (it's a natural look), I'm happy to be back in the 5-Live #newsroom popping up with the #news in-between a big afternoon of sport in the #EFL.

Last #news bulletin of the shift done. Prepared for a cold walk back to the car. As always, it was good to be popping up on the 39 BBC #radio stations across England and the Channel Islands.

Enjoyed sharing my thoughts at the Association For Journalism Education Winter Conference today.

My presentation looked at how those working in both industry and academia can play a massive role in bridging the gap between #academia and #industry. It was great to hear from other speakers too.

"Hello" from W21 here at Media City, in Salford.

I'm on #news duties reading the bulletins for the 39 local BBC #radio stations across England and the Channel Islands until just after midnight. I'm keeping an eye on the #floods and other stories making the news tonight.

That's my #news reading at BBC 5-Live done for 2024. Looking back, I've covered some big stories over the last 12 months, and these last three days haven't eased up, ending with breaking the news about the death of #JimmyCarter. Time for a break before returning in 2025.

Last shift before Christmas. I'm reading the #news on 5-Live. A little out of breath for the first headlines having broken a golden rule; do not run in a #newsroom before the bulletin 😬 A little out of breath.

Graduated with my postgraduate certificate in Academic Practice.

It's helped shape my teaching, introducing me to different pedagogies; scholarship research; and much more.

I've also met some great colleagues from across the @universityofleeds.bsky.social who share my love of creative practice.
