Media exposure for Natalie

Natalie De Nadai's work in the media has started - while she's still at university!

The third-year Bachelor of Media and Diploma in Languages student is an aspiring journalist, and work experience with the University of Adelaide's Marketing and Strategic Communications media team has given her worthwhile exposure to the industry.

Natalie has been coming into the media office twice a week since early May and has experienced first-hand the duties of a journalist.

"To be a journalist it is very important to have experience, so I thought the uni newspaper would be the best place to start," she said.

"Working on the Adelaidean has given me so many valuable opportunities - finding my own stories, having my articles published, putting together media releases and meeting interesting people.

"I've learnt a lot about the media industry, and as well as helping me build up a portfolio, I think I've developed into a more confident writer.

"In my last year of uni next year I definitely will be seeking to get more experience so I can broaden my employment opportunities."
