" As a newspaper editor, I no longer think of the stories as just for print but for the website too. I can proudly say that thanks to the programme, I can now do a story for both TV and radio. I learnt how to operate a camera, produce a TV feature, manage the production process and how social media can work for someone in the newsroom. I can proudly say I am an all-rounded journalist thanks to the Master of Arts in Digital Journalism programme."
