How to be creative
Volunteering - Getting involved is a key to success
No one comes from nowhere - You got to keep getting better and better to succeed
Put everything into everything
Don't wait to be invited to the dance - Experiment, dont't leave things to chance
The day after you finish what do you do? - Think about who you will get in touch with with after you're done, start sharing your work online.
Sports journalism
- Leon Mann - Interviewer for BBC sport and ITV sport
- Noticed there weren't many black people in the industry, so challenged the industry by creating a representation of himself through clothing, interviewing style etc.
- Kick it out, an anti-racism campaign introduced him into the industry
- First film - "The fastest man to ever live", insight into Usain Bolt
Diversity in the media
- Lack of diversity
- More white middle class men than Asian and Black men, also a lack of women
- Believes diversity offers a better range of views and perspectives
Young people, media and democracy
- 15-25 year olds dont vote and are disengaged in democracy
- Many social scientists have written about a "crisis" of participation
- There is an increasing control of all media by a few corporations linked to particular interests
- The general agreement is that the media play a major role, but that the role is complex
- Or, mainstream media underrepresents vast groups of youth as the media supports the elite
- In terms of media representations, research out of 3,000 stories have found that the vast majority (87%) were negative.
