LMFM Sunday Sport is the station's flagship sports show, broadcasting for three hours every Sunday covering local live action, and all the big stories on the local, national and international front.

Drogheda

I began assisting with production of the Sunday Sport show on LMFM (part of the UTV Group) in April 2013 on voluntary basis in order to broaden my media knowledge. A few short months later I was producing the show myself. This involves planning the show from beginning to end, accounting for every second over a three-hour period, lining up guest interviews.

As Media & Communications Officer at Camara, I am responsible for all formal communication, both internally and externally. This involves a high level or organisation and planning, as all social media and press release output needs to be agreed upon in the week prior to publication. Planning around a big event like the Web Summit 2014 was also a big.

I contributed SSE Airtricity League match reports to The Irish Times for Drogheda United's home games, and some of their away games in Dublin. In the past I've also contributed two large feature pieces to The Irish Times.

I contributed occasional pieces to Joe.ie on a a range of topics and sports, from GAA, to rugby and cycling.

In order to help build a profile and have somewhere to put all my articles, I started my own sports blog site. I blog mainly about GAA, soccer, rugby and cycling.

I've contributed several articles to TheScore.ie in recent months. I will generally come up with an idea for a blog piece, which I will pitch to The Score. Of these, several have been published.Probably my favourite article was the one about high-school football. On a holiday to the US, I set up a meeting with the local high-school coach, who oversaw one.

I contributed articles on a range of musical subjects. Ramp is a Wordpress site, and everyone added and edited their own articles, so an intimate knowledge of Wordpress was essential. Having used it before on my own blog site, it wasn't a problem.

Dublin

I contributed music reviews and various other ad-hoc pieces to Culch.ie, which gave me valuable exposure to press and PR events. Being a big music fan, I enjoyed being able to listen to new music and write about it.

Having entered a competition run by RTÉ.ie which encouraged fans to contribute championship match reports, I enquired about gaining some experience in RTÉ. That resulted in me spending several weekends in the publishing department at Montrose, where I updated the website with minute-by-minute details of the 2007 All-Ireland final. I was also responsible.
