Wearing a lot of “Hats” this wonderful lady can
be seen to be shooting, presenting, writing and
even editing content to be aired to viewers. She is
constantly on the search of stories, researching for
news in and around the city of Edinburgh. Zara is a
reporter, video journalist and presenter for STV.
So what would it be like being in this role?
Demanding, it takes a lot of ambition and drive to
fill these shoes. There is a lot of competition in this
line of media. One must be prepared to start from
the bottom, submitting stories and video content,
becoming a runner, internships. All of these at no
financial compensation. But the reward for the hard
work and determination is priceless.
“I love talking to people and getting paid for it - is
great!”
Life in this industry gives you a chance to meet
new people, be involved in new experience and
learn. Remembering that “Every day is a school
day!”
Zara can be seen on The Fountainbridge show
which airs on Virgin channel 159, Sky 117 or
