Business outlook
Pros
A wealth of knowledge acquired about different mental health difficulties and how the media reports them. A a student journalist this was a great chance to really see the different editorial decisions employed by different publications on a specific topic. The money was good for a part-time role around a hectic university schedule.
Cons
Once the initial learning curve ended the work was monotonous. I prefer more variety in my job spec. On the upside, this position was created for media students in the hope that these future graduates would enter the professional sphere with an excellent understanding of mental ill-health. This includes accurate and fair word choice and avoiding stigmatising.
