Initial Thoughts?
I am a second year Communications and Media Management student. I have always been extremely interested in radio, as well as writing. Being a radio presenter has always been a childhood dream of mine; however, the further I get through my university studies, the more I become interested in the 'behind the scenes' and management of radio.Digital media has never been a strong point of mine, therefore I believe this class will be a challenge for me! I am excited to learn how I can use my writing skills in collaboration with film and television. I am quite nervous about the course, as I tend to struggle with technology, but I believe I'll get a lot out of the course and hopefully a better knowledge of what I wish to do in the future!
