My Media Life - Sara Robinson

Sara Robinson, 27, is an Account Director with award-winning Cardiff-based Working Word Public Relations. Starting life on the Pontypool Free Press, and arriving at Working Word via Tinopolis Television and a London-based Axiom Communications, Sara is a self-confessed “media junkie”. But when she’s not busy drumming up press coverage for her clients what are her media picks of choice? Enterprise magazine finds out.

Magazines

I read so many trade magazines in my day job so Grazia and the Observer music and food

supplements are about all I can stretch to in my spare time.

Newspapers

The Guardian and The Telegraph – I like a balancedintake and that heady combination seems to strike it.

Websites

BBC Online for authoritative news updates, Last.fm and MySpace for discovering new music

and www.guardian.co.uk for most things cultural, lively blogs and comment.

TV Programme

The Mighty Boosh, Flight of the Conchords and Newsnight.

Radio Show

I can’t start the day without the Today programme (Radio 4), I feel ill-informed without it. Huey

Morgan on BBC 6Music on a Sunday Afternoon is a recent discovery – I love his eclectic playlists and

laconic drawl. Worth the licence fee for those two shows alone I think.

Podcast

Russell Brand’s before he got taken off-air! Is it cheating to pick The Today programme again?

Last YouTube video viewed

The Noisettes’ ‘Wild Young Hearts’ and Felix Da Housecat’s ‘Ready To Wear’. YouTube DJ is the

best game to play over a few bottles of wine with friends – you have to watch for show-offs who tend to hog the search button though. It’s intended as an egalitarian game, where everybody gets a turn.

Facebook, Love it or hate it?

I was sceptical when I first signed up but now I love it, to the point I think I may need to go to FA

(Facebook Anonymous) meetings soon.
