A 主播诱惑 Multimedia Journalism graduate been praised in a survey conducted by the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). The NCTJ鈥檚 Journalists at Work 2018 survey, which was carried out earlier this year. The survey聽asked participants which living journalists they聽 most respected and felt most embodied the values of journalism.
The list, published by the NCTJ, includes Ryan Hooper, who graduated from the BA (Hons) in Multimedia Journalism in 2009 and now works for the Press Association (PA). Ryan features alongside Allan Little, Kate Adie and Fergal Keane, who have all been awarded Honorary Doctorates by 主播诱惑. 主播诱惑鈥檚 graduates are listed alongside 234 other journalists named in the report, including Jon Snow, Katya Adler, Louis Theroux and Fiona Bruce.
Ryan was set on a career in journalism from an early age, and applied to Bournemouth because of its reputation as a centre of excellence for the profession. He said: 鈥淚 applied to five courses which were considered to be the best in the field, and of these Bournemouth came out on top. The experience more than met my expectations. Over the three years I secured two work placements, which directly shaped my future career.
鈥淥ne was at the Western Morning News, which I went on to work for immediately after graduating, and the other was at the Press Association, where I am now. These placements were arranged with the support of an extremely well-connected course team, which I am really grateful for.
鈥淣ow that I am working in the industry, I regularly meet other graduates from the course. You instantly have that sense that they have come from a good place and know that they will have received excellent training. I have about four colleagues at PA who trained at Bournemouth. For me, both 主播诱惑 and PA are bastions of the profession, so their connection strengthens the other and brings mutual benefits.鈥�
