Proud to be part of the @LT_Journalism team at @LeedsTrinity 🎉
Amazing to wake up to the news that Journalism @LeedsTrinity is now NUMBER ONE in the Guardian University Guide. The best around. Congratulations to my fantastic colleagues and I hope our LTU grads and students feel proud.

First day of @JournalismWeek done and I was able to host a talk with investigative journalists @RSheikh26 and @monikaplaha.
They offered great advice to students, and explained the differences between creating pieces for TV or radio, and their work on Panorama. #LTJMW
Wonderful session with @monikaplaha and Rahil Sheikh on investigative journalism.

Some fun work I did last month with @LeedsIntFest. Still wondering if she managed to get a date with Christopher Eccleston.
🎙️ What did you learn from our #LIFI23 panels? We spoke with people after the panels and this is what they had to say.

Marking the end of my first year lecturing at @LeedsTrinity and celebrating our journalism students at graduation. Have loved every second. Congrats to the class of 2023!
Yesterday we had the second media training day of the year for our @LeedsTrinity journalism students and @WestYorksPolice. Today the students are writing up news reports following the press conference and interviews with DCIs in the TV studio.
Loved @C2Cfestival this weekend and seeing @ThomasRhett @JordanCWDavis and @laineywilson live for the first time. Even the snow didn’t stop it feeling like Nashville!
A brilliant visit to @BBCLeeds/@BBCLookNorth today for our @LeedsTrinity journalism students. Thanks @MichaelMcNews for organising, along with @Daryldirects, @RadioAndrewE, @dannysavage, @BBC_Boswell and @_LouisReynolds who offered an insight into life at the BBC.
So pleased for our @LeedsTrinity alumni @charbergman, and great to be in London for the #NCTJawards.
Next is the student of the year award, sponsored by @YahooUK and chosen from 1,163 students who studied on NCTJ courses last year. And the winner is @LeedsTrinity graduate @charbergman, now at @itvcalendar. Charley achieved an impressive seven As and 100wpm shorthand #NCTJawards

It’s the final day of @JournalismWeek! A pleasure to hear from some of @LeedsTrinity’s former students about life after graduation. #LTJMW @alumniLTU
Fantastic to reunite with all of these former students @LeedsTrinity who are telling @BethKrysta how much they love their careers in #journalism and #TVproduction #LTJMW

Pretty sure whoever edited the Matt Hancock footage for #ImACeleb is a big Lord of the Rings fan…

Ready to celebrate 10 years of @C2Cfestival! So pleased @JordanCWDavis is on the lineup again. He flew to the UK for C2C 2020, then had to head straight back to Nashville when the event got cancelled due to Covid.
