    A week of Hitchens

    As you're probably well aware - because I haven't stopped banging on about it - I interviewed the Mail on Sunday columnist, author and broadcaster Peter Hitchens a week ago today. It was my first sit-down TV interview - which was for my university student newspaper's online platform - that I had ever hosted. In the build up I was really looking forward to it and wasn't at all nervous. That all went out the window, however, when the man himself arrived and I met someone who I

The irony being that there isn't one 'thing'; there are loads. Behold a collection of phrases, which I'll con

    Journalists, journalists everywhere ... but not a drop to drink.

    So far during my time at university, myself and my fellow journalism students have been blessed by the number of high profile journalism professionals that have come in and shared their advice with us. The most famous until now has been John Inverdale - a BBC Sports commentator who is involved in the corporation's golf, tennis, rugby union and Olympics coverage. He was very candid about his experiences and I really appreciated how open he was in answering questions and the ad
