This episode of Belta is in conversation with journalist Aneesa Ahmed.
Aneesa is a freelance journalist, having worked at Mixmag for over a year and is now based in Sheffield whilst studying a masters degree in journalism. She’s written for NME, done plenty for Mixmag (including a cover story) and is part of The Guardian’s Scott Trust Scheme.
We spoke about the nitty gritty ins-and-outs of being a journalist, the many routes you can get into the industry - cliche hint: just start writing! - and our favourite parties up north. We also discussed how media industries need to be better in terms of equality and diversity, and shouted out some mega folk and DIY teams who are paving the way.
You can check out more of Aneesa online here.
