About Me:

Hi! My name is Hannah Conway and I am a Multimedia Journalist in the final year of my degree at Teesside University.

Course:

Journalism, BA (Hons)

Biography: 

Since I was a child I’ve always loved the news and being informed. Like others, I would religiously sit down and watch any news, listen to any radio and read any paper I could from the age of about 12. It was a no brainer for me to come into this career and to do a  job that I enjoy. I’m a proud Teessider, so being able to report on and work local issues and national issues is a big interest of mine. In my first year of my studies, I won the award for ‘Community Reporter of the Year’, which allowed my proud Teessider status to show. Every day that I get to work in this industry is a pleasure, and I’m excited for whatever the future holds following my graduation from University.

Software & Hardware Proficiencies:

I am skilled using Adobe software, Open Media, Scheduler, Dira applications and iMovie, which I have practised and learnt through my studies.  I can also use professional cameras, as well as video cameras such as the AC-90.

Employment, Work Experience & Volunteering:

I currently work at the Stockton and Billingham Life Newspaper, where each week I write up a match report on Middlesbrough FC and this is published weekly on a Thursday in various locations around the Teesside Area.

I have also carried out work for The Sunderland Echo, and did a two week work placement at BBC Tees.

Interests:

Despite studying a Journalism course, I often delve into the wider social science world too. I have created pieces of work varying from politics to mental health. I have a keen eye for art, and also love music. Visiting different places in the world and photography are also huge passions of mine.
