@BCUJournalism @rianna_croxford @jomorrisjourno "Don't impose limits if you believe in a project," says @rianna_croxford ."I've never said, for example, that I can't do a project because I've not worked for 10 years in the industry. Follow the projects that you believe in, and seek advice when you need to".#DDJUK25 #DJUK25.
