Description

In this podcast from Falmouth Journalism, we look at what it takes to break into the world of sports reporting. What can you do as a student to get yourself into a position where you are somebody a company wants to employ? In this episode, Kevin Bishop, lecturer in sports journalism at Falmouth and former BBC sports producer, talks to Tom McDermott, editor of UnitedEnd and author of England - The Quest for Glory. Alongside them in the studio are three final year students from Falmouth - Joe Macey, Shaun Dacosta and Morgan Sheppard. And joining on the phone from Leicester is Maddie Smith, a recent graduate who's now in full-time employment.
