Our Year 10 iMedia students recently welcomed local journalist Alice Jones for an insightful session connecting classroom learning with real-world careers.
Alice shared her day-to-day responsibilities, ranging from investigating breaking news to editing copy under tight deadlines, and discussed her personal pathway into the media industry.
A major focus of her visit was demonstrating how the exact skills students are building right now in their iMedia lessons translate directly into the workplace:
-
Research & Fact-Checking: Verifying sources and background information.
-
Digital Content Creation: Structuring and formatting media for online audiences.
-
Target Audience Analysis: Tailoring tone and style to engage specific demographics.
-
Time Management: Meeting strict publishing deadlines.
A huge thank you to Alice for inspiring our students and showing them how their classroom projects lay the foundation for future careers!
