In terms of my own work experience, I had a successful Summer. I achieved a four-week placement at the BBC in London, and I returned with a renewed confidence in launching the television station.
A new university year brought a new President of Communications & Democracy, who was both extremely friendly and encouraging. He was also very understanding of the struggles I'd had the previous year and promised to support me in the project.
He suggested that I set up a social media presence using Facebook and Twitter. I had definitely planned this for the future, but as we were yet to film any content, I thought it was too soon to promote the station online. But, I set up the accounts and generated a number of 'likes' and 'followers.' Now all I needed was videos to post on the pages and for that, I needed to recruit passionate students.
RGU:TV's first ever Freshers' Fayre was an exciting and energetic experience. It felt fantastic to finally have a presence alongside all the student societies and sports clubs. We didn't achieve a huge number of people signing up to get involved, but we had finally become established in the student body.
