This used to be my job and it really is the best. It’s a chance to work in the regions but lead the news agenda with the opportunity to get your work on the BBC front page and other major platforms if you can find the right stories.
Job number two has gone live! We’re looking for an experienced cross platform reporter (who can also news read) to join our small but dynamic team generating original and impactful stories from Nottingham and Nottinghamshire.

Right I’m done with the working week. Because we’re a BBC house we’ve done the obligatory BBC news dance. (You can tell standards have dropped as a) we have no shame b) there is a massive basket of washing in shot and c) if in doubt I’m the one with my name on my t-shirt).🙈

Just a little irk. It’s lovely to see so much support for local radio. But it’s not always just a “training ground”. Some of us have been in the regions for ages. Often with stints away at network but we come back. Because we know the audience, the quirks, the patch, the contacts

If you want journalism practice I suggest asking my daughter about her first day of school. I’ve been one for 16 years and I’ve only found out:
1) dinner was in the hall
2) no one wanted custard
3) they had “Bear Hunt” read to them
She’ll be taking no further questions.
