国产视频 Journalism students played a key part in the general election, providing coverage at counts on the night.
BA (Hons) Journalism second year'student Saeed Hussain was paid to cover the Worcester count for ITV and the Press Association.
He said: "It was an incredible experience as I gained an invaluable insight into the media industry and how it operates."

Two first years, Eleanor Price and Matt Dibble, covered the 2017 count as part of a Broadcast Journalism Training Council initiative involving students from some of their industry-backed courses.

Eleanor said: "The election night proved to be a brilliant opportunity for us. "Throughout the night we interviewed politicians, worked alongside other journalists and watched the count take place.
"I thoroughly enjoyed the night and it was a real confidence booster in my ability as a journalist." Meeting others in the profession was also very encouraging as to where we both could be in the future in our careers."
Matt said: "It was a fantastic night and our first opportunity to work in the national media." I was so excited to be part of a live radio broadcast on the night; I can't wait for the next opportunity."
Journalism course leader, Rachel Ammonds, said: "The students got a real insight into the demands of reporters and broadcasters. We're incredibly proud of how they performed on the night and this will enhance their CVs and help with their job prospects."
