The team from Channel 4's 4Talent programme to encourage young people into media and broadcasting careers hit Barnsley earlier this summer and now Barnsley is the star of their new promotional video.

Young people from across Barnsley the surrounding areas benefitted from a range of workshops and talks by leading professionals including John Sanderson of local company PitStop Productions. Enterprising Barnsley's Creative and Digital Industries Sector Specialist, Tracey Johnson, also joined the panel of experts to dispense advice on how to make a mark in the media in Barnsley. Barnsley Central MP and shadow culture minister Dan Jarvis also spoke to the attendees - and the cameras!
