Virtual Reality teaching; unpicking the Post Office scandal; & global graduates


Listen Later

Visiting a crime scene inside a classroom? It's just a day in the life for journalism students at The University of Sheffield. The JournoWave podcast heads to Rotherham to talk to teacher Lindsay Pantry about her "world first" experiment in using virtual reality in journalism teaching practice. 


Anna Jones, Polly Rippon and Jenny Eells are back behind the mics, ready to start the new semester. Anna and Polly explore the reasons the post office scandal took time to spark public interest, despite extensive press coverage. 


This episode brings you the second part of MA Journalism student Jack Roberts and Wisden cricket journalist Katya Witney's interview about managing exam stress, building contacts and surviving shorthand. And Anna chats to a former graduate (and colleague!) to get some top tips for students coming to Sheffield from around the globe, and the importance of advocating for yourself in a newsroom!
