Meet and Greet

Hello everybody,

I have decided to partake in a spot of blogging as a way of increasing my readership. Now, I know my current readership is generally limited to one (that being myself), so it really shouldn't be that hard to improve.

I'm studying Sports Journalism at UCLan in Preston and, in fact, have almost completed my final year. Though it remains to be seen whether I will pass this year, I'm pretty confident of securing that degree come the summer.

It has been a really enjoyable course and I would strongly recommend it to anybody with a love for sports and/or writing.

One of the biggest things I've learnt from the course is the prominence of online journalism, especially in sport, and how it is not only used by professional journalists. 'Citizen journalism' is flourishing and the 'Blog' is a massive part of this.

In the coming months I shall be updating this blog at regular intervals with sporting news stories from around the globe. I am hoping that by putting my work out there on the world wide web I can start proving to people that I have actually learnt something during the three fun-filled (and alcohol-fueled) years I have spent at university.
