The Norwich School community and members of the Sixth Form are invited to join the ON Society on Thursday 23 November for the first of an exciting new series of events. 

The first of these is ‘Women in the Media’ – the aim is to hear from a panel of four women; inspiring broadcasters and journalists, hosted by ON Hannah Talbot.  

Hear from and meet some of the most prolific people in the media industry.

If you’re keen to simply expand your network, get tips on how to get into a career in media or have an interest in the media (print journalism, broadcasting, music or production) or just have a super entertaining evening – this is for you.

Hannah Talbot is a producer at Sony Music UK and will be asking a panel of equally brilliant women:

• How to get your foot in the door
• What it’s like to be a woman working in the media
• And how best to succeed in this industry

The all-female star panel includes:
