Today we left Liverpool and headed to the University of Salford for a lecture from both Dr. Annabelle Waller and James Probert. At first, I thought the university had much less room than Point Park until Dr. Waller informed us this was just one branch and the main campus holds 24,000 students. Needless to say, […]

Day 8: Media in Manchester
Our day started pretty early this morning as we left our hotel in Liverpool and headed 40 minutes on a bus to Manchester. We started our busy day of media visits with a tour around MediaCity UK and the University of Salford. MediaCity UK used to be an old dockyard, and now it is the […]
BBC & Manchester
Short post today because I have been feeling very under the weather. We left Liverpool and headed towards Manchester/Salford today. We met first with Dr. Annabel Waller. She took us on a tour of the facilities on the Salford campus located in BBC Media City. It is impressive the number of TV and radio studios […]
Day 5: It’s Called Fashion, Look it Up
Today was the day that I was looking forward to the most as far as media visits go.

Day 5: It’s not Windseerrr it’s Windsor
Today was a sad day, it was the day we had to move out of our hotel in London and go on with our tour. London is such an amazing city and spending 3 days here is not enough. BUT we were heading to Windsor Castle to see the Queen’s home and then to Stratford-Avon […]
We really love your work, but..
Starting to get a hang of this whole London thing. Everyone here is honestly a lot nicer than you could ever imagine, especially the people hosting our media visits. We started the morning heading off to Battenhall, which was definitely a highlight of the day. Their offices were exactly what I was expecting for a […]
Day 8: Alexa, play “Livin’ La Vida Loca”
Alexa, play “Livin’ La Vida Loca” by Ricky Martin. Today was a long day and our first media visit since Hearst UK last Thursday. I was very sad to leave Liverpool – I am making a promise to myself to return to that beautiful city – but at least the drive to Manchester today did […]
