Trip to the offices of the scotsman/edinburgh evening news

Well I am delighted to say that my trip to the Edinburgh Evening News with the senior media students from Dunfermline High School on Monday went very well - the ten students who attended found it very interesting and there are a few amongst them who are very serious about a career in journalism. We were shown round the spacious and airy offices by Tom Little, the Editor of the Evening News - our thanks go to him for putting so much time and effort into the trip. His informative staff also each talked about their own specialities - so we had an insight into the picture desk; newsdesk; sports desk and production and so on. I am keen to arrange other trips for the students to other publications, maybe even some TV and radio stations too, who knows? It is something that I am enjoying myself very much and it is great to see the students getting a love of the subject and discovering like me that media studies can open up some great career opportunities for the future.
