Spirit Power Unveiled: Exploring the Best of Johnny Marr

Spirit Power Unveiled: Exploring the Best of Johnny Marr

Johnny Marr, the legendary guitarist and songwriter, has gifted the music world with a retrospective masterpiece in the form of Spirit Power: The best of Johnny Marr (2023). This album is a sonic journey through Marr’s illustrious career, showcasing his unparalleled guitar expertise and his undeniable impact on the alternative music scene.

With the release of this album, I had the opportunity to attend an intimate Q&A session on Tuesday

Here are a few examples of my online journalism that has been published in the University of Leeds newspaper, The Gryphon, and also articles that I have written during online news-days and created on WordPress. All stories have focused on current  affairs and events of Leeds, capturing a more localised demographic. 

Reporting and Newsreading

One example of reporting that I am particularly proud of was covering the scene of a fatal crash near Bolton in Greater Manchester. Although it was a tragic story, it provided the opportunity to report from the scene of a breaking news event. I spoke directly with detectives at the scene, gathering formal comment and delivering a voicer that clearly and responsibly informed our listeners about the developing situation. Reporting on sensitive stories like this requires authority, accuracy and care, and it was an important experience in handling difficult news with professionalism.

Another story that stands out is my coverage of the Great North Run. As someone originally from the North East, it was a privilege to report on such an iconic event. Throughout the day I conducted numerous vox pops with runners and spectators to capture the atmosphere, while also speaking with high-profile participants including Tommy Fury. The story was an opportunity to showcase the spirit and energy of the North East, and I aimed to reflect that sense of pride and community through both our on-air coverage and digital reporting.

Broadcast Journalism

These are examples of TV News packages that I have created to fit the format of a television news programme. Both packages were constructed by varying camera shots and angles, interview clips, natural sound effects and good script writing to tell the story. These experiences hone abilities to practice 'piece to cameras', GVs, OOVs, Vox Pops, and any many other elements that craft together an engaing TV package.
