MICHAEL BLAIR
Job: Arts and entertainment producer, Sky News Course: TV CAJ, 2007
What has been your best interview?
What has been the proudest moment of your career? Producing the Oscars coverage for Sky and going to LA. It was overwhelming but brilliant. What is your favourite memory from your time at City? The studio stuff was always ridiculously funny. We had brilliant training, but back then our news judgment was skew-whiff. Some of the stuff we did was complete garbage. But I met two of my best friends at City, and that’s the main thing.
Brad Pitt was cool. As a producer, I work with our correspondent so we interview famous people quite regularly. Most of the time there is too much going on, but every now and then, like when I was interviewing Brad Pitt, you just pause and think “Wow, you’re Brad Pitt!” What did you struggle with most at City? Media law. I did fine, but it’s such a drag. But you have to do it. I come up against legal stuff all the time. There are tiny little things that are really important. TERESA FITZHERBERT
