About

I am a 19 year old student writer currently based at the University of Central Lancashire in Preston.

Since I set this blog up back in January 2009, I have tried to extend what I write about other than Sport. I now specialise in Music whom is a developing interest all the time including sport.

I am interested in all forms of media, such as Twitter and Facebook. The last two years has seen a revelation in the way we view, and pick news up. I try to use Twitter for a journalism purpose, and Facebook for organising activities.

My history in writing began way back at Parkside Community College in Cambridge, where I wrote school team match reports for the newsletter. When I moved to Harrogate in 2004, I continued doing this writing for my Sunday League Football team over a period of 4 years, writing for BBC North Yorkshire and the Harrogate Advertiser.

At Harrogate Grammar School, I was responsible for a lot of sport, drama and school related stories that went to the Harrogate Advertiser. I also combined this with Harrogate Hospital Radio.

At University of Central Lancashire, I currently write for Pluto Sport and PR1 Music. To request a CV and contact me, email at :dbirch1@uclan.ac.uk
