Helen also runs a Diversity and Inclusion Panel for ITV Tyne Tees, bringing together voices and viewpoints from across the region to consider all aspects of diversity and inclusion and she acts as a link with our communities on this matter.
Her presentation entitled “Pictures, people and places: a day in regional television news” gave an ideal opportunity for those students attending to find out more about a career in journalism and broadcasting and to draw upon her expertise.
