Special thanks to Chris Horrie, Brian thornton and Angus Scott at Winchester University

Doing my degree uncovered my new passions of life thanks to great team of peaple who believed in me, showed me how to proceed these passions and how to use doors of opportunities right in front of me.

I was being trained by the bests, great team of professionals like Chris Horrie, documentary maker, journalist and author of books like Tabloid Nation or Stick it up your Punter and a freelance feature writer for British newspapers like The Independent, the Guardian or The Observer. His lectures and were simply life inspiring and life changing. His honest and constant fight for his student to reach to the top has been truly remarkable.

I also had a pleasure to work with Brian Thornton, who still continues to work part time for BBC, former national who worked with Jeremy Paxman on the BBC Newsnight and now lecturer and director of the Winchster innocence Project whose wisdom, exceptional investigatory skills and patience lead me through re-examining one of the biggest murder cases in the history of UK and discovering yet more love for investigative journalism.

And finally thank you to Angus Scott leading presenter for ITV sports, Setanta and Al Jazeera sports channel, who has been an amazing inspiration and charismatic tutor through exploring magic of TV news making and presenting as well as greater understanding of the inustry, who I also had a pleasure to work with in the Middle east during the World Cup 2010 for Al Jazeera sports channel.

Special thanks to the whole team of my course including Jackui Thornton, Annette Rizo, Paul Carter, Paul Manning and others who have also been very helpful and an inspirational in my degree studies.
