He is looking forward to learning more on the Racing Media Academy.
I was exploring roles in media when I came across the Racing Media Academy (RMA) application. It is an incredible initiative designed to give young people a foot in the door of racing-related media, but you don’t need to be a racing expert to apply. Just a bit of enthusiasm and a willingness to learn goes a long way.
The eight-day training programme at the British Racing School was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We were mentored by leading figures in news, attended race meetings as accredited press, toured studios, and got stuck into real newsroom environments. It was intense, but I came away with a solid understanding of both the racing world and how media teams operate within it.
The team (Lee, Cath, Abby, and Josh) were brilliant throughout – always supportive, encouraging, and great fun to be around. More than anything, the RMA gave me a strong network and media connections and that’s something I know will help me as I take the next steps in the industry.”
