Alex James

I am a journalist that has recently graduated with a Masters Degree in Broadcast Journalism from Nottingham Trent University and their Centre for Broadcast Journalism (CBJ).

I have spent time working for BBC Radio Shropshire as a Reporter, Audio Content Producer and Bulletin Reader where i have regularly been tasked with responsibilities that allow me to showcase my skills 

I also completed a three week placement at Sporting Life with their football writers. This also inspired me to start my own football blog called Through The Laces and I also started writing articles and analysis for The Deck. 

Below, you’ll find a selection of my work, from my time at NTU, with BBC Radio Shropshire, my placement at Sporting Life and my articles for The Deck that showcase my versatility and ability as well as a contact sheet if you wish to contact me.

I look forward to connecting with you!

During my placement, I was shown how to use the OPUS Clip software to create social media clips that would perform well. I had to choose the Ai clips I thought would suit the audience and reach the most people. 

Posts like this one were created by me in which I had to meticulously go through the Ai transcript to check it's accuracy as well including the graphic overlay.  

I am proficient in the use of social media sites like X (formally Twitter), Facebook and Instagram for the sharing of journalistic and creative content.
