Summary
My main focus of work in the context of Sport Journalism has been working in club media at Barrow AFC.
My specific duties during my time at the club included: live match day updates on X, photography at both training and match days, involvement in programme creation, setting up the big scoreboard & syncing the lineups with it, match previews, match reports, helping create the team sheets and videography for behind the scenes content.
From this role I have developed my skills massively and now believe I can be a valuable asset across all variants of club media as I have now worked in the environment of a professional football club and watched my work develop in quality over time.
