Welcome to Essex In The Media!

Zoë Nicholson. 19. Chelmsford, Essex.

Former BBC Production Coordinator Apprentice and now working full-time as a Production Coordinator, still at the BBC. And loving it.

A blog that started off as a destination for updates on local Essex celebrities, news and events has evolved in the years I've been writing.

It soon became a hub for features on TV, Radio, Music, Festivals and tales of life as a Sixth Form student.

As I started my career in the BBC, my blog became a diary, logging the steps of my apprenticeship and the experiences I gained along the way.

And now as I continue my career in the media, I hope to combine all of these things together, continuing my career diary and combining this with articles based around my love of music, radio and television.

So there you have it - Essex In The Media.

The Essex Girl Stereotype

After the success of The Only Way is Essex on ITV2, the 'Essex Girl' stereotype has become a familiar image in UK society. But how truthful is this image that the likes of Amy Childs, Sam Faiers and Lauren Goodger portray?

Sian Rawson, student at Swansea University, is investigating the Essex Girl stereotype in her final year dissertation and is looking for responses to her attitude survey.

"This attitude survey is designed to explore the stereotype of Essex men and women, and the regional disparities such stereotypes cause.

" All answers will be kept anonymous, and used only for the research of a dissertation at Swansea University."

Thank you for your help and participation. Please follow the link below to take part in this attitude survey.
