Tia Melville
Multimedia journalist
About Me
My name is Tia, and I’m a recent graduate with a multimedia journalism degree, seeking work experience and internships within the media industry. I have a strong passion for writing and content creation, particularly on topics such as culture, entertainment and politics. My experience in student journalism has honed my writing skills and taught me the importance of accuracy, ethics, and sound editorial judgement through IPSO and Media Law. It’s also helped me develop skills and interest in other areas of journalism, including broadcasting, social media, public relations and video/social media editing.
