  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • I was placed on the research team for ITV Meridian which allowed me to gain experience on what is required when researching news stories. I would be given a brief which gave me an idea of what was needed of a story angle and I did background research to provide for the news writers to use in broadcasts. I worked independently and in small groups.
