Journalism students from Havant and South Downs College, South Downs campus were given the opportunity to go to London and visit the Sky news centre.
The aim of the curriculum based trip was to give students on the Level 3 journalism course an insight into how the news is created and presented to the public. As part of the experience students created and presented their own news story and had a tour of the studios.
The aim was to show the students the different roles there are within the media industry and where the course may lead them in the future. Havant and South Downs college has a thriving journalism unit offering a number of different courses for post 16 learners.
Some students wrote their own news stories that were about social media and the effects it has on mental health. I found this interesting because there was an opportunity to share my own opinion.
