Tom Bennett

I am a 20-year-old Multimedia Journalism student at Bournemouth University determined to break into the field of sports journalism with a real passion for football.

I created The Youth Radar in January 2011 after identifying a niche in the football blogging market. Since then, the website has been shortlisted for a Guardian Student Media Award, featured on the Guardian and BBC Sport football pages and averages over 1,000 views per day. I still manage to edit, write for, update and design this website single-handedly and I am extremely proud of how far it’s came along so far. I maintain this website alongside a full-time university degree, a part-time job working night shifts and other journalistic commitments.

As well as this website, I am involved in a number of other projects. I am a Video Reporter at AFC Bournemouth, Chief Sports Reporter for the student newspaper, an online blogger for Four Four Two and have completed various work placements at the likes of Sky Sports, the Guardian, ITV Meridian and FHM.
