Congrats to everyone graduating - it was really special to be back with the next gen of journalists where I trained Cardiff University JOMEC @ Cardiff Uni - and especially lovely to receive a fellowship 16 years to the day of my own graduation. I’ve always loved a good hat…. 🎉

If you’re thinking of studying for an NCTJ qualification but worried about the cost, I’d really recommend doing some research into The_JDF Without this amazing fund, I’m not sure I would have been able to complete my course. So grateful for their support! #journalism

We’re sorry to share that Victoria Park Splashpad will close from Fri, 16 August, for the rest of the season due to pump failures. Despite exploring all options with contractors, parts won't arrive until autumn. We understand the disappointment & apologise for the inconvenience.

Still reeling from Iphigenia yn Sblott at Sherman Theatre / Theatr y Sherman today. A total tour de force from Seren Hamilton who, it turns out, has only just graduated. If she’s this good now, let’s see what her future holds. Catch it in #Cardiff tonight or on tour shermantheatre.co.uk/event/iphigeni…

Hey! Incoming NCTJ MA Journalism students at João dos Santos If I haven’t stressed how important #shorthand will be in the coming year, take a look at what Gee Harland says here⬇️⬇️⬇️ Gee has done it all since she flew our nest so she knows what she’s talking about 😇

Same 😇 Bike-to-work days in Cardiff = glorious (for those of us lucky enough to use the Taff Trail and parks)🚴‍♀️ Train-to-work days = hellish. Already dreading stormy winter days when I resort to rail #cardiff #commuting #commuterlife 🚉

Busy times recently visiting schools as an ambassador for NCTJ! It was also fab to catch up with journalism students from Oxford Brookes & the University of Gloucestershire about all things crime. I'm slowly raising an army of future court reporters & no one can stop me!

It’s that JOMEC @ Cardiff Uni time of year again! Am delighted to share this very special news for Hannah Walton-Hughes- Journalist Every young journalist knows there is nothing like the thrill of achieving NCTJ 100wpm shorthand. Congrats, Hannah! #Teeline #shorthand #CardiffTrained

Anyone who’s learned NCTJ #Teeline #shorthand knows how hard it is to achieve 100wpm. And then Hannah Hannah Walton-Hughes goes and passes 120wpm. Only a tiny number of learners achieve that. Massive congrats, Hannah, you are the pride of JOMEC @ Cardiff Uni #CardiffTrained

Lovely to see delegates at the ⁦Student Publication Association⁩ annual conference in Exeter today getting inky fingers and poring over their beautiful PRINT products. Who doesn’t love seeing their byline in a traditional tabloid format? #SPANC25

Another JOMEC @ Cardiff Uni success story. Congratulations, Sam… you did all the hard work in order to achieve 100wpm NCTJ #Teeline shorthand. Surely nothing else we throw at you this year can be this challenging?! 😉 #CardiffTrained
