I’ve got a fantastic #journorequest - I’m looking to speak to anyone who grew up in or around Sheffield in the 70s, 80s, or 90s and is part of the LGBTQ+ community and would like to share their experiences of the city in regards to their sexuality or gender identity ! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️❤️
Had a great first week on placement at @SWNS
Learned a lot about the workings of a news agency in providing stories to the national press. Can’t wait to crack on again next week.
Looking to speak to anyone who has any holiday horror stories, when what should be a perfect getaway turns into a disaster.

Just finished an investigation into how universities handle mental well-being and suicide among their students.

Special thanks to @Mrawlins1974 @SheffUniJourno and @TimHopkinson for guiding us.

The Sheffield One World Choir is a place of community for refugees and asylum seekers from across the world.
I spoke to its members about their stories, what the choir has given them, and how singing can be a form of therapy.

I haven’t seen anything like this on Russian state TV since Ukraine’s counter-offensives last year
Karen Shakhnazarov says Russia needs to recognise the fact that it might lose and that anyone who thinks the West is about to fall apart is deluding themselves
