An aspiring investigative journalist and documentary maker has won the title of Student Television Broadcaster of the Year at this year’s Guardian Student Media Awards. Having graduated with a first class honours in Broadcast Journalism from Nottingham Trent University earlier this year, Danielle Couchman’s final year documentary project - which examines the poor standards of academic achievement among children from travelling communities - has now earned her a six-week placement with Sky News.
