Paragraphs
1. When Kate Derham went to Cambridge University to study economics, she fell
in love with the place. “I was so much enjoying my luck at being in such a
beautiful place that while I was there, I didn’t think further than that and that´s
still the way I am. I enjoy what´s on offer at the moment. People don´t believe
me, as a lot of media people I work with have had to push very hard to get
where they are, but I´ve been lucky. When I left Cambridge, I didn’t believe life
could be better”.____ E__
2. But it has got better and continues to do so. Katie Derham is 28 and she is the
new face of television news bulletins on ITN. The regular news presenter
finished last year. Katie took over from her and has read the news five nights a
week since then. She has survived reports of a couple of slips when she misread
some news items and the media interest in her points to a bright
future.__C_________

3. But Katie does not really take the media interest seriously. Becoming so visible
has taken some getting used to, but she does not feel it imposes on her life,
despite being recognized on the street. It has not gone to her head and her
response is typically modest: “I think people more often think they were at
school with me or they´ve seen me before in the supermarket serving cheese or
something”.______D___

4. And stories of fights amongst the news girls are denied: “there are so many
channels, news programmes and air time that there is plenty of space for
everyone. There have always been these kinds of rumors. You get to know a lot
of presenters but I´ve found the others are a support to me – at least they
understand the kind of pressures which come with the job.”________B____

5. Katie has just moved into a flat near Regent´s Park in London. She is a keen
musician and is looking forward to getting her piano into the flat so she can start
playing again. There was even a brief moment when she considered trying to
make a career out of her piano playing, but she says realism intervened: “I think
you should know what your limitations are: I was adequate but never
brilliant.__A____________

6. During college Katie considered many “serious” professions such as

management consultancy and accountancy but journalism was always at the
back of her mind although she knew no journalist and had very little knowledge
of the profession. Eventually she got a job as a secretary at a radio station. She
went on to produce and present a range of radio programmes and started to get
noticed. She currently combines being ITN´s arts and media correspondent with
news reading and brings a solid journalistic background to the
job._____F_______

7. For the moment, Katie loves her job despite not getting home until nearly
midnight some days. “I try to persuade my friends to have parties which start at
midnight! However often I tell them, they don’t take in reality of what´s
involved in a media job. They just see me on the screen for a few minutes. But I
 don’t mind missing out – I would be delighted if I was still doing this in a
couple of years’ time”___ H_________

Alice.
