Mike Sunderland: International Journalism MA graduate

Mike
Sunderland MA International Journalism

While at Falmouth I managed to get a three week work placement at Sky News in London. Thanks to the practical focus of my MA, I was able to make myself more useful than most trainees. I knew the little but important things like what UPSOT or a tease was, and crucially I knew how to write news.

I've since been taken on as a producer on the World News show. My MA was instrumental in this because it gave me the foundations of knowledge in foreign news to confidently contribute to production meetings and put myself forward for all types of work. I love my job and am getting the opportunity to do so much in a short space of time. I now regularly write and voice my own packages, edit pictures, write script and have a real say in what goes into our show.

At the end of the day, being successful in news is down to the individual and how hard they're willing to work. What the course at Falmouth does is put you in a position to realise your own potential and give you a real shot at achieving it.
