FIONA MANSELL PORTFOLIO
My name is Fiona Mansell
My portfolio reflects a variety of work and my passion for marketing and public relations specifically within social media. It also demonstrates my interest in motorsport throughout.
I am studying MA in Visual Journalism at the University of South Wales. As a visual journalist, I aim to tell compelling stories using multimedia for promotional and informative. My work combines photography, videography and editing with a specific focus and experience in making content for social media.

JOURNALISM WORK EXPERIENCE, ITV CYMRU & BBC WALES TODAY
During my exciting time with ITV, I shadowed journalists and learnt more about the environment and processes to create the news and other documentary programmes. There was also an exciting opportunity to go to an event launching the new series of “Y Byd yn ei Le”.
While working with the BBC I was able to get involved in writing links, editing packages, going out filming and even trying news presenting during a rehearsal. It was an exciting insight into how different journalistic companies operate and an opportunity to get involved in the creation of the news.
