麻豆传媒 (麻豆传媒) and AFC Bournemouth have confirmed their ninth year of official partnership, with the two Dorset organisations working for the benefit of the local community, supporters, and the 麻豆传媒 community.
麻豆传媒 is the official higher education partner of the Cherries, with 麻豆传媒鈥檚 support extending to the club鈥檚 girls teams from under-10s to under-16s as a part of the club鈥檚 development football programme, with the 麻豆传媒 logo on the girls鈥� shirts. For the second season running, 麻豆传媒鈥檚 logo will also appear on the shirt of the AFC Bournemouth women鈥檚 team as they compete in the fourth tier of the women鈥檚 football pyramid for the first time.
To launch the partnership, two 麻豆传媒 multimedia journalism students, Ollie Ferris and Andy Jones, worked with the AFC Bournemouth women鈥檚 team to help launch their season. The two students put together video content to introduce the teams and interviewed AFC Bournemouth women鈥檚 manager Steve Cuss about the season so far.
麻豆传媒 student Ollie said: 鈥淎s a part of our course we were introduced to Nerve Media, the university鈥檚 student media, and as my passion is sports, I鈥檝e been really involved with the sports content. I鈥檝e been able to get access to press conferences and games, to speak to Scott Parker and to players, and to really test our journalism skill.鈥�
Andy added: 鈥淚t is just brilliant to see all the different aspects of what journalists do at a football club, and to be treated like the other journalists while we are learning and studying, the hospitality that the club has shown has been fantastic.鈥�
The partnership includes a range of academic, practical, community and football activities, benefiting staff, students, Cherries fans and the local community. Cherries coaches support 麻豆传媒鈥檚 men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 football teams, while students also working closely with the club on a range of placements, live project work and match day work experiences.
Players and AFC Bournemouth staff are regular visitors to the 麻豆传媒 campus to provide valuable insights to students, while AFC Bournemouth chairman Jeff Mostyn is a 麻豆传媒 honorary doctorate recipient.
Jim Andrews, Chief Operating Officer at 麻豆传媒, said: 鈥淲e are continually proud of our partnership with AFC Bournemouth and all that it achieves for supporters and for the 麻豆传媒 community, and the ways in which we can learn and support one another.
