Now, these patch days we have every Thursday. It’s not always the easiest to find interesting stories and report on them just on a Thursday, especially as there is a danger that these patch days could be seen as a rest from the course (I’m just being honest!).
However, as I have not had all that much luck thus far I have decided to up the ante!
1) I have contacted additional press offices in order to aid me in discovering local stories. Also I have requested work experience in order to get a real insight into how a press office works.
2) I have a great story! — I’m not going to spoil it now but due to keeping an eye out, reading local papers etc, I have a real story of interest! (Applause). I shall be writing some copy and recording a voice piece on the story. I’m heading out this afternoon to get some interviews from people who were there. Bob & Diane…it shall be in Burli for you next week! – I hope you’re excited.
3) Although this isn’t entirely patch day related, I have used this Thursday to get into contact with The Student Lawyer. I am going to be volunteering and writing some articles for them. I’m excited!
It’s only midday and it’s been a productive patch day already.
Maybe patch days aren’t such a drag after all.
