But mostly I taught, um, writing actually, which is obviously one of the other things that I'm very passionate about is, is actually writing.

And I taught, um, the journalism students, but also students on the public relations and the political communications courses.
13:25
And I, I do training as well with people on how to use FOI with, um, you know, um, with, with regional journalists, with student journalists, with, um, environmental groups, public participation groups, sometimes with people who were involved in politics and so on.
