Welcome Welcome to the third edition of Headlines, a magazine that keeps you in touch with the activities and achievements of Journalism and International Journalism graduates all over the globe. In the following pages you’ll read about football writers, broadcast award-winners and social media specialists, as well as communications experts from organisations as diverse as the NHS to CBeebies. We are proud to have had a small part in the beginning of so many varied and successful careers. It’s also been a fruitful year for the department, with the launch of our new Sports Journalism course bringing a host of new partnerships with sporting organisations such as the Anfield Academy. We’ve also signed a new member of staff – former Sky Sports cricket correspondent Tim Abraham, adding more experience to our topclass team. We hope you enjoy this magazine – expertly written, produced and designed by our very talented final year students! Jackie Newton, Programme Leader
