Future Aspirations
Opportunities
After I have finished my BA Hons Interactive Media Degree, I
would like to move into industry, but I would also like to freelance, and try
to build up a rapport and contact base with many institutions. This is so that
I have various opportunities, and available places to gain work and experience
within. I would like to continue to work within the Travel Writing sector of Journalism.
As I have designed and created my own travel publication, this is something
that I would look to continue and develop if possible.
Whilst at university, I saw many opportunities to create
something, such as the group publication Mouth. I am not sure whether this will
continue, but this would have been something that I would have personally liked
to see continue and work within, as a news outlet and publication for the Hull
area.
Aspirations
My main career aspirations are driven through the creation of
my own publication, Tourist, as this has derived from a project, and has
developed into something that I would hope to make a permanent fixture for my
future. I plan to travel the U.S.A and Canada after I have graduated, and I
would have opportunities from this to expand my cultural knowledge and create
new publication editions of Tourist through documenting the places that I visit
on my travels. I would try to use this alongside any other experiences that I
have, to gain some work experience, and possibly internships, or paid freelance
work whilst travelling.
Sports journalism is also something that I want to explore.
I have particular interest in Athletics, Football, and NFL, and I hope to use
these to gain some much needed experience in the field. I would also like to
develop this into a career of broadcasting within sports journalism, and I
would look to gain any experience possible to help me achieve this.
Other areas I am also interested in include economic and
political writing, but I would be more inclined to do this as a columnist
rather than a news reporter.
The Mission
My main mission in my journalism career would be to have my
own travel publication, whilst also freelance writing for various other publications
in travel, sports, and general news sections of newspapers and publications. I would
also wish to develop a strong online presence, and communicate my career
through digital means, and use interactive based programmes such as Storify,
and my own blog, to record journalistic content and views.
Obstacles
Broadcasting is the area that I have least experience
within, so I would need to develop this, and build a range of contacts within the
industry before it may be possible to follow a career in sports broadcasting.
First Target
My main focus will be, from leaving my degree, to continue
to develop, and expand the publication Tourist that I created as part of my
degree, and develop this into my own company in the future.
