So recently, I stepped out of radio focused comfort zone world and joined a new department of the Beeb that I didn't even know existed!
The team consists of video journalists and editors that report the hottest topics discussed by social media. Social media is at the heart of what they do, otherwise news can't be produced!
The team is quite small, but full of so many fresh, innovative and quick-thinking ideas.
There is also so much diversity; literally! From Arabic speakers to French speakers to Hindi and Spanish speakers. Different cultures, accents, and walks of life; how refreshing.
Most days included looking at the content of what the team creates and how they go about doing it, learning how to speak in their language and understanding what makes rich, easy-to-understand, and quick news.
I dangerously kept overthinking again; "what could I possibly add to this team?" "Is the competition fierce?" "What would it even take to become a part of this team?"
Slow down Hannah! Learn about the programme, what it entails, what it means, and how it works. I was with this team for a week and learnt things quickly, which is a skill that I'll forever cherish.
By Thursday, I knew this could potentially be me. That's why it's hard to decisively say where I want to eventually end up as I am now on the 8th month of my traineeship - I'm still discovering new places! Imagine where else could also hold a lot of potential for me.
Everyday is a great day, even the ones that you wish you could make more out of. Because later on, you eventually learn from it! Too many people dwell on yesterday and forget that we ALL have tomorrow to change that. Don't dwell, live!
