Rookie Reporting

So there I was in the VIP room at Noosa Food and Wine Festival. I look to my right and I see Matt Preston and Matt Moran jovially chatting away, no doubt critiquing the food samples they were devouring. I look to my left and I see camera lenses longer than I thought possible, news crews and reputable reporters.

Then I thought, hey, I’m never going to get anywhere in life if I let fancy cameras and people wearing channel 7 hats get in the way of me getting my story. So with all my non-existent experience in approaching famous/recognized people for an interview, I went on up to Master Chef winners Julie Goodwin and Adam Liaw and somehow, I got an interview. It turns out they were both very lovely people, I explained I was a journalism student reporting on Noosa Food and Wine Festival and they were more then happy to have a chat to me. Julie even asked me all about my degree and what I wanted to do! And yes, this was for an assessment, my final task for my reporting course. I’m not going to post the final video here, only because I find my piece to camera far to cringe worthy, but here’s a few happy snaps J
