Professional Experience

BBC Young Reporter National Winner 2022

In 2022 I was a National winner of the BBC Young Reporter competition. This led to me being interviewed on BBC Radio 5 Live by Naga Munchetty and allowed my story to be released nationwide on all BBC radio networks. Along with this I was able to write up my story my story to get posted on the BBC News website. I had full control over the content, working alongside a qualified journalist.

ITV News West Country

I successfully secured a one-week work experience placement with ITV News West Country. This was a fantastic opportunity to learn about all aspects of news and journalism.

I was particularly proud of the feedback I received from the Production Coordinator, who said: “It was great to see Bethany so engaged across all the roles she shadowed. She was confident to speak up and contribute to our morning meetings, presenting ideas and suggestions towards our local news stories. Overall, we were really pleased with Bethany’s week with us and the enthusiasm she showed for broadcast journalism.”

Global's- Heart Southwest Radio

I secured a final placement with Global’s Heart Southwest Radio to learn the radio side of broadcast journalism. This included turning press releases into scripts and editing raw interview audio into clips for use in local news bulletins.

I received very positive feedback from the company, including the following: “…worked hard to produce a large amount of content that went “to air”. Bethany was punctual, polite, and friendly and would always ask for help when required… she did well to grasp the style of writing and presentation that we aim for on Heart.”
