She explained to the youngsters in P4-7 what a day in the life of a journalist looks like, and how to write your own story to capture the attention of readers.

The enthusiastic youngsters at the primary school were keen to share their thoughts and opinions on recent news stories they had seen, and ask probing questions about how to write the best news story.
