This year’s Bob Friend scholar, Tania Steere, is into her second week at Sky News and seems to be having a ball. She’s largely been shadowing reporters and working on the planning desk – but yesterday saw her first piece of content used in a package. She interviewed one of the widows of servicemen who were exposed to radiation during weapons testing at Christmas Island in the 1950s. 

Her footage was used as part of a package that you can see here.

You can see more on Tania’s day-by-day progress over the next couple of weeks on her blog, where she also reveals she has been shortlisted for the prestigious Tom Walker award run by the Sunday Times. She joins seven other shortlisted students hoping to win £1,000 and a four week placement on the Sunday Times foreign desk.
