Episode #152 with Tejas Kotecha

On today's episode I'm in conversation with former Sky Sports News Producer Tejas Kotecha. Tejas shares how he started in the media at the age of 23 as a Sky News graduate trainee and worked in a variety of roles in the newsroom and out ‘on the road’. We also talk about his time at Sky Sports, his role as a producer and his career highlights. We discuss the evolution and devolution of news in today's ever-changing media landscape, fake news, and with his passion for politics how the media hold governments accountable.

Tejas also chaired the Ethnicity and Inclusion Network at Sky Sports and he talks about his upbringing in Bolton, his heritage and how he fell into becoming a wedding Toastmaster.

Thanks for listening to the episode. I'd like to thank my guest for their time, insight and being a great sport!

I would also like to thank my producer, Ashanti Omkar, for all her hard work.
