About myself and this blog...

Hi, I'm Joel. I grew up in Bristol and it's my life's ambition to have a great career in the media. I have a passion for sport, music and popular culture. I am particularly intent at this early stage on gaining as much industry experience as I can. Areas I'm looking for opportunities are broadcast journalism (TV and radio), online production and writing. This blog will serve as a portfolio to showcase the work I produce to potential employers and an outlet with which to express myself. I currently work for Link Up TV, and thus the majority of my coverage will be around UK-urban music and culture, but I aim to cover a broader range of subjects independently. You should expect to see feature writing, news reads, opinion pieces and

video-content on this blog. Please follow my social channels for more.
