Amy Garcia on 10 years at Look North, mobile journalism and early work
Anyone who has questioned the importance and relevance of regional news will have been conclusively set straight by presenter Amy Garcia.
The anchor of BBC Yorkshire’s flagship news show celebrated 10 years at Look North by speaking about her life and job to media and communications students at the University of Leeds.
“I started in kids’ TV at the age of 19, presenting CITV programme S Club TV,” she recalled. “That was my first experience in live TV, interviewing the big bands of the early noughties, like Atomic Kitten and Busted.”
