Our OV of the Week this week is Cameron Walker (Os 08-15) who is approaching 5 years since he left King’s. As a pupil, Cameron threw himself into school life, singing in the school choir, being a monitor and taking part in the 2012 Les Mis production.

Cameron studied Broadcast Journalism at Nottingham Trent University. During this time, Cameron tenaciously approached TV producers and directors to offer himself for work placements and freelance shifts. A tactic that helped him to get his foot in the door of the industry. After graduation, Cameron gained a place on the ITV News Traineeship. He spent 10 months in the Channel Islands, working for ITV Channel Television. Here he learnt to produce and present news bulletins, how to produce professional TV reports and wrote countless articles for the ITV News website.

Cameron is now a television journalist based in London. He currently works as an output researcher for ITV’s Good Morning Britain. At work, Cameron produces multiple programme items every shift and helps to write and edit VTs (pre-recorded videos). Cameron says, “I love briefing guests and reacting to breaking news – every day is different and I never know what to expect when I come into the studios.”
