🎶Music Journalism workshops at Sunderland University
Students from our Media Studies, Creative Media, and Pop Music courses headed to Sunderland University for an unforgettable deep dive into the world of music journalism🔥
From attending an exclusive show by a Radio 1 Big Weekend act to learning how journalists review gigs and albums, they gained real insider knowledge of the industry, alongside a tour of Sunderland University's media facilities👀
The day included inspiring talks from Emma Millen (BBC Local Radio host) and Jordan Blyth (BBC Radio 1 Indie Show presenter and former Rock Show host), offering valuable advice on breaking into the media and making your voice heard📻✨
Students also visited the Northern Academy of Music Education to explore how artists and bands can get their names into wider media outlets, with the opportunity to stay and watch local bands during soundchecks and gig preps ahead of the BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend 🎸
Opportunities like this offer creativity, insight, and hands-on experiences to help spark the next generation, and it was amazing to see our students buzzing with inspiration, motivation, and excitement⭐
