Meet Darren Harper, Senior Lecturer in Journalism here at LTU. 

In this short video Darren talks about his background in radio and his passion for podcasting - arguably one of the most versatile and booming platforms for journalists and content creators working today. 

Put your journalism skills into practice by producing content for our in-house news site, Yorkshire Voice. You'll also gain hands-on experience of reporting in a real-world newsroom environment with our News Days.
