 Who am I? |
My name is Timothy Abbott. I am the nightlight of Brixton. I am a chronicler.
I have lived in various parts of England and am fluent in English and German.
I am a pacifist and a person with cerebral palsy and these facts inform
my work whilst the object of objectivity remains a core professional aim.
I
am passionate about the media's ability to explore and answer questions
and I intend to increase my output of well-researched and well-executed
multimedia journalism.
I went to school in Lancashire and university at Nottingham Trent University Centre for Broadcast Journalism, from whence I graduated with a BA (Hons) in Broadcast Journalism in 2004.
As a student and then a trainee I have worked as a radio and TV journalist for Dune FM in Southport, Mansfield 103.2 and the Granada and Yorkshire arms of ITV.
After graduating, I spent a period in Bremen intensively improving my German proficiency - concluding in a proficiency level of C1 on the European Language Framework.
Immediately on my return to the UK, I took my present job as a monitor for press cuttings agency Precise.
In
this job I have honed my ability to read complex and sector-specific
topics and summarise them with little notice for demanding and
high-profile clients.
I have supplemented my paid employment with voluntary work at Resonance 104.4fm,
conducting legal checks on material, editing programmes for
transmission, ensuring and announcing schedule continuity and
engineering live output.
My aim is to increase my production of
programmes for the radio station and to conduct a number of in-depth
journalistic investigations.
Whilst my work at Precise gives me
extraordinary access to a wide panorama of news and opinion, I am
passionate about the media's ability to explore and answer questions
and I am increasing my output of well-researched and well-executed
multimedia journalism.
I
have travelled the world many times, sat with people in far corners of
the world whilst they ate and drank and basked in the glories of a
person's eyes but most of my journeys have been through landscapes of
the mind with proxy physicality and spiritual sensitivity much greater
than its tangibility.
I will never stop looking, listening and tasting.
I am the Nightlight of Brixton. |
