Creative Loop Podcast

A stalwart in Scottish broadcast journalism, Alasdair Lamont took time out of his day to explain to the students of Scotland just how important online journalism has become in today's marketplace, and why it should be a part of every journalist's repertoire. Whilst films, shorts and podcasts all require a little technical knowledge, everyone can blog. If you can blog, you can write. If you can write, you can attract an audience. If it's knitting that excites you, write about that. If it's football, get involved. Once you are writing you've got a body of work to show to prospective employers and you'll come on leaps and bounds. In this brief interview, Senior Broadcast Journalist Alasdair Lamont tells you exactly what you should be doing if you are serious about a career in broadcast news. "..anyone who wants to get a foot should take the initiative.." - Alasdair Lamont
