Meet Aaron

Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies BA, Class of 2021

What is your current role?

I'm a football trends writer for football.london. I analyse trending topics on Google and social media and write news articles on these topics. These articles typically cover Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur.

What is the best part of your job?

The fact that it revolves around my biggest passion (football) so it doesn’t always feel like a job. In fact, it is frequently enjoyable to write about the thing I love most.

What skills and knowledge have you found useful in your career?

SEO writing, inverted pyramid for news formulation, referencing, working under pressure, time management. 


What did you enjoy the most?

Journalism past, present and future provided some excellent context for the history of the field and the current direction it is going in.

I also enjoyed my Journalism multimedia module in my third year. Utilising Twitter to build up a following and live tweeting an event (in my case a football match) helped me massively doing what I do now.
