Brooklyn was generous with his time and information as he engaged with the students answering their questions with detail and enthusiasm. He offered great insight into the world of journalism, his first-hand experience in how he landed his dream job and offered great advice in pursuing the career you want. 

One of the highlights from this interview was the impact of Brooklyn’s social media presence - a topic that has been the focus for Year 12 English Studies this term. The discussion centred around how through the use of social media platforms, he was able to change people’s lives and opinions by simply informing them with simple facts and in a more accessible way than other news forms and outlets. 

Brooklyn also had questions of his own for our students inquiring about the online learning experience and how they have navigated through a challenging year. The interview provided students with a greater understanding of how the broadcast journalism industry works as well as the required drive, motivation and passion for the job. 

“My greatest take away from the interview with Brooklyn was his final advice for the students - if you have a dream, work hard and just go for it! Take every opportunity that leads to reaching that goal and you can make it happen.” Karina B 

“I really enjoyed that we were able to speak to Brooklyn so we could learn so much more about how he got his job and how he made it through life to where he is now." Natasha B
