In December I was delighted to produce my first piece for the BBC. Featured on both Politics North and Look North, I spoke to students trying to make ends meet during the cost of living crisis and heard from many in the higher education sector call for more action from the government to help struggling students.

In addition to the piece, I also secured an additional contributor to join us on the sofa as a studio guest for the proceeding discussion off the back of the piece, who of course I was also responsible for managing when on set as part of my usual responsibilities as part of the Politics North team.

I was thrilled to have this opportunity and, having taken the story from the initial research and pitch through to completion, was delighted with the outcome.
