A day in the life of a Senior Producer in Hong Kong
Courses taken since graduation
MA Online Journalism, Sheffield University.
My advice to students considering work
Be plucky and show that you are willing to work really hard.
What I do
I'm a Senior Producer for CNN in Hong Kong. That means I write, commission and edit features from the Asia region for CNN.com. Previously, I was a feature writer and editor at the South China Morning Post, and on the Daily Mail's copy editing graduate scheme.
Skills I use and how I developed them
I was the Music Editor for Nouse while I studied at York. I interned at the York Evening Press.
What I like most
Every day is different. I get to be creative, use my writing skills, meet lots of interesting people and ask them difficult questions.
What I like least
Journalism is a hard industry to break into, and it can be low-paid at the beginning. You have to really want to do it.
What surprised me most
The pay does get better!
