I am a Digital Journalism Apprentice. My role so far has involved creating digital videos, recording radio packages, setting up guests for programmes, research for stories and doing shifts on our 'Local Live' which details local breaking news in Yorkshire.
Yes - an incredible amount of professional skills. These range from how to tell stories to using certain software.
