To those in the thread who want to become newsreaders:

You don't seriously think that as soon as you get out of Uni, you'll be snapped up by BBC/ITV/Sky or whatever. My friend's a lecturer at Sunderland Uni - previously a reporter for the Echo and was engaged to Carol Malia. He said: "If I had a pound for every time someone came up to me and said 'I want to become a newsreader', I'd be the bloody richest man in the world." You need experience in Broadcast Jounalism. For now, get your work on anything and everything that you can. Uni magazines, newspapers, church newsletters, community papers whatever, just get yourself around. You never know who reads them.

Thanks for your advice James

Please can I PM you in order to ask you questions journalism? I would really appreciate it.

TIP: Journalists only succeed if they have correctly grasped the English language.

Don't PM me. I'm 14 and I ain't an expert in the field. Try asking somewhere like Connexions - or asking the broadcasters/newspapers themselves. I'm only going on what my careers adviser told me to do. There are also some good books on working in media - I'll have some up for you on Monday.

Looks like victimisation to me, Gavin. I don't agree with banning someone because a certain moderator on this forum is being egged on to do something by users of another forum.

I thought there was at least a degree of democracy on this forum, but I'm obviously mistaken.
