ABOUT ME


Hey, my name is Vania Imran Mirza and I am currently doing my A levels from Lahore Grammar School. I recently started my A levels and opted for psychology, economics and media studies as my subjects and this particular blog is for my Media Studies portfolio. 

I took media as my subject because I plan to enter the field of journalism afterwards and this is going to help me to a great extent. My main purpose is to make this blog eye catching, interesting and useful for whoever reads it. 

I look forward to keep you engaged as my blog progresses along with my journey in taking Media as a subject.
