Nick Sheridan: Inspiring Generations Through Journalism and Children's Literature

Nick Sheridan left an indelible mark on both journalism and children's literature. Known for his commitment to truth and ethical storytelling, Sheridan used his media career to educate young minds and bring social awareness to complex issues. His journey—from young Irish filmmaker to respected UK journalist and children's author—demonstrates a lifelong commitment to the values of honesty, engagement, and integrity.

Early Life and Education

Born in Wexford, Ireland, on October 30, 1991, Nick Sheridan was raised in a vibrant community that nurtured his artistic talents. Attending St. Peter’s College, he excelled academically and in the arts, ultimately earning the prestigious "Student of the Year" award in 2010. His passion for media and storytelling led him to Dublin City University, where he obtained a degree in journalism. This academic foundation paved the way for an impactful career spanning Ireland and the United Kingdom.

A Journalist's Journey: From Newstalk to BBC Scotland

Career Beginnings

Sheridan's journalism career began at Newstalk, where he honed his broadcasting skills as a newsreader and researcher. This early experience solidified his understanding of storytelling and reporting, shaping his future contributions to Irish and UK media. After Newstalk, Sheridan joined Late Lunch Live, a show focused on current events, which allowed him to develop skills in live reporting and engaging audiences on important issues.

Rise to Prominence: Young Irish Filmmaker of the Year

In 2009, Sheridan was named the Young Irish Filmmaker of the Year, a title that garnered international attention and earned him a place at the Seoul International Film Festival. This accolade marked his entry into the world of visual storytelling, further enhancing his journalistic abilities and providing him with a platform to reach wider audiences.

Transition to Television Journalism

Sheridan's transition into television journalism came with his role on RTÉ’s News2day, where he engaged young audiences across Ireland. Working on this program provided Sheridan with unique insights into effective communication with younger viewers, a skill he would later leverage in his children's books.

Move to the UK: Building His Career at BBC Scotland

In 2018, Sheridan moved to Glasgow to pursue new career opportunities at BBC Scotland. Starting as a researcher, he quickly rose through the ranks to become a camera journalist, correspondent, and presenter. At BBC Scotland, Sheridan worked on high-profile programs like Reporting Scotland and Drivetime, where his skills in storytelling and journalism reached new heights.

Nick Sheridan’s Contributions to Children’s Literature

Breaking News: How to Tell What’s Real from What’s Rubbish

Sheridan's passion for media literacy led him to write Breaking News: How to Tell What’s Real from What’s Rubbish, a book aimed at helping children understand the complexities of information in the digital age. Through humor and practical examples, the book encourages young readers to critically assess news sources, teaching them essential skills in fact-checking and spotting misinformation.

Wiki-School Trilogy

Sheridan’s Wiki-School trilogy combines entertainment and moral lessons, offering young readers stories that engage and educate. The first book, The Case of the Runaway Brain, blends mystery with real-world issues, encouraging critical thinking and empathy. Subsequent books in the trilogy—The Case of the Phantom Treasure and The Case of the Poisonous Pigs—continue this approach, addressing moral dilemmas in a way that captures the imagination of young readers.

Focus on Truth and Integrity in Journalism

Combating Misinformation

Sheridan's commitment to accuracy and authenticity became a defining characteristic of his journalism career. By creating content that adhered strictly to factual reporting, he sought to educate the public on the importance of reliable information. Sheridan’s approach served as a blueprint for journalists working in an era where misinformation is rampant, particularly on social media.

Innovative Storytelling Techniques

In his work at BBC Scotland, Sheridan often utilized multimedia elements to simplify complex issues, making them accessible to a broader audience. His creative use of graphics and interactive content in programs like Drivetime transformed consumer stories into engaging narratives, further emphasizing his commitment to informed journalism.

Awards and Recognitions

Prix CIRCOM Regional Rising Star Award

In 2016, Sheridan was awarded the Prix CIRCOM Regional Rising Star Award, a prestigious European accolade recognizing his contributions to broadcasting. This award highlighted Sheridan's influence in the media world and underscored his commitment to journalistic excellence.

Legacy as a Young Irish Filmmaker

Sheridan's early recognition as Young Irish Filmmaker of the Year set the stage for a career defined by creativity and dedication. His legacy as a filmmaker and journalist continues to inspire future generations of media professionals.

Lasting Legacy After His Passing

Tributes and Impact

Following Sheridan's untimely passing, tributes poured in from colleagues, public figures, and admirers. Scotland's First Minister, Humza Yousaf, honored him as a "talented journalist," while former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon reflected on his vibrant personality. BBC Scotland colleagues remembered him for his humor and kindness, with his contributions to children's literature particularly celebrated for their positive impact on young readers.

Enduring Influence in Journalism

Sheridan’s legacy is one of authenticity, empathy, and a profound respect for the power of storytelling. He continues to inspire a new generation of journalists to prioritize truth, ethical storytelling, and the representation of diverse voices. Sheridan’s work exemplifies the values of transparency and accountability, principles that remain essential in the ever-evolving media landscape.

Conclusion

Nick Sheridan’s life and work continue to resonate, shaping media standards and children’s literature. His dedication to truthful reporting and educating young audiences leaves a lasting legacy that transcends his accomplishments. Today, Sheridan’s contributions to journalism and his insightful children’s books serve as enduring resources that inspire, educate, and remind us of the power of storytelling in building a more informed and empathetic world.

ESCAPING INTO A SHIP

So what exactly made me latch onto the Sydcarmy ship like a leech on a water buffalo?

It was unexpected (for me)! Yes, the very first meeting between Syd and Carm did make an impact. I thought "Oooh, what's this?!" However, Carmy was/is such a mess that I quickly dismissed it. And Sydney just seemed to want his professional approval and a partner in making something great after the soul-crushing failure of Sheridan. So, the first season I personally didn't feel a mutual sexual/romantic tension, more like an automatic respect and shared goals/passions. Sydney nor Carm were obviously trying to flirt. Most slow burns on TV are 100% obvious like a Jeanine and Gregory (Abbott Elementary), Nick and Jess (New Girl), Jake and Amy (Brooklyn 99), Jim and Pam (The Office)...Until Braciole Ep. 8 that is.

S. 1 Episode 8- I won't get into everything but Carmy was desolate. Yes, he became a psycho chef and two people quit in Ep.7. However, he mourned Sydney more than Marcus. She was in his flashback/nightmare (?), then the way he told Tina that she looked like Syd (the poor pup), him texting her before opening the note from Mikey, and finally the most gorgeous locked gaze scene since Pride and Prejudice (2005). The soft lighting, the music, the colors, the mind-reading...magical. I still didn't get it initially. Silly, blind me.

Mentorship where??? Season 2 Carm and Syd's "mentorship" dynamic is pretty much over. They are true partners and spending more time together. They're dressing alike even when not in uniform, finishing each other's sentences or talking in unison. Sydney is opening up more of herself and Carm is asking to know more. They use the ASL sign for sorry with each other and no one else until ep 10. Then there's that locker scene in ep. 1 or 2, when they almost hang out just cause. However, Carmy misses the moment and there's the return of the kicked pup face. Before being on the ship I was delighted with all of their scenes and was looking forward to the food tour. They just ROCK together on screen.

Classic Love Triangle- Who's Claire? She's "Claire Bear", the prototypical "cool girl", who is willing to chase an socially awkward, wrong-number-giving man, despite being a pretty ER resident with no shortage of options. Did a CW writer get hired? Anyways, why was her presence used almost exclusively to put strain on Carmy and Sydney's relationship instead of The Bear generally? We could have had scenes with Nat, Richie, and Marcus arguing with Carmy about him being distracted due to Claire. They saved 99% of that for Sydney. They CHOSE to insert her in between or just after scenes with him and Claire. Showing Sydney's tattoos and her getting dressed with the stained chef's coat juxtaposed with them was WILD.

I LOVE that both believe their interpersonal problems are solely about The Bear/business partnership. In most "slowburns" the characters are far more conscious and actively work to keep things platonic. Jeremy might be a smidge aware that Sydney means more to him after the panic attack, but I bet he's shoved it down. All he knows afterward is that being with Claire feels wrong hence ignoring her call and recommitting to SYDNEY. He could of said "You all/This/The Bear deserve my full focus etc..." He was also nagged into greeting Claire at Friends and Family, seemed anxious when Fak brought her up right before The Table scene, and also while explaining that "she's great" to Sydney. He was at peace when focused on Sydney in the moment below.

The actors: Jeremy and Ayo's real life friendship is warms my soul and their chemistry onscreen is amazing. DON'T WASTE IT!!!

Jeremy smolders on screen. I want to see Carmy continue to stare, yearn, fall, then eventually confess and for Sydney to reciprocate his feelings. Anyhoo, does anyone else melt when Carm means business?! They do this twice in season one and it's not good for me. Whew, I need to clean my whole house or run a few miles.

Finally, there's so many other parallels between these two. They are fearful avoidants, have a missing or dead parent, jacked up stomachs, use sarcasm, but are generally very earnest, they struggle with anxiety, are compassionate, are perfectionists, peace-makers, give people multiple chances, are workaholics...so much more. A lot of that is also ME, lol.

Sydcarmy is my Roman Empire. I love them as much as you can fictional characters and they deserve the most tender, angsty, triumphant, romantic best-friends to more love story.

B5 S04E06 Into the Fire previous episode - table of contents

Since I mentally opted-in to the CGI style seasons ago I 100% buy in and it looks so comforting in a lot of ways. :P  

Back to Ivanova's season recap personal log. And she's on her First Ones field trip with Lorien! I know she (probably?) doesn't know that Lorien is THE First One, but it's still funny that she's dictating terms to him. "You have five more minutes," she coolly informs one ofthe greatest powers in the galaxy. 

Lorien comes through, having successfully contacted a species who are so insular they haven't spoken to a single member of another race in centuries. 

The White Star (with John and Delenn) has just destroyed a Vorlon observation outpost. They do not mention if it was inhabited by non-Vorlon species or not. I'd like to think not? But they didn't say, although the buildings had lots of windows on discernable stories full of light.

The Flying Saucers First Ones join the space battle alongside the White Star fleet and turns the tide of battle! 

The Shadows believing in strife building civilization never required a galaxy-wide war. War isn't the only form of strife. Interpersonal strife is impossible to eliminate. Imagine the show if they did focus on interpersonal conflict. 

Prime Minister Mollari feels very comfortable in the seat of power. Twelve hours to kick out the Shadows before the Vorlons arrive. 

Sheridan is keeping his word to Ivanova and stalling "the end" till Ivanova arrives. Perhaps the flying sauvers weren't the First Ones after all. 

Lorien encourages Ivanova in her skepticism, then asks what her heart tells her.

Ivanova is skeptical on a structural level. The first sentient being couldn't invent fire and the wheel in one lifetime, let alone science up to the scale of inventing an immortality treatment.

He says no, they were born fully realized as immortal beings.

Alright. And his species didn't do an awesome job parenting the nascent Vorlon and Shadow species if they've ended up in this much conflict now. I wonder if they were so ideologically extreme in the beginning of their tending the lower races alone while all the other Powers went away, or if they radicalized in opposition to each other over the millenia. 

Drama!! This new Centauri character says Cartagia had him investigating Londo and they inestigated who killed Adira. It wasn't Lord Refa, it was Mr Morden. The truth is out! And Londo's just now realizing how much he was manipulated. The scales are off his eyes. 

He doesn't take it well. 

It seems that Ivanova is trusted with a White Star command with her limited, and error-prone, Minbari. And Lorien is a delicate fellow and informs her quietly.  Luckily, the next vocab she uses is correct. 

Sheridan tells Lyta her coming into contact with the Shadows at Z'ha'dum is the only advantage they've got, even though Lyta and several Minbari telepaths mentally fought and killed Shadows in a battle before that. Will those Shadows-experienced Minbari be part of it, I wonder. 

Morden's incredibly burn-scarred skin has been healed up by "his associates" it seems. Londo wishes to speak privately, then his guard shoots and kills(?) a bunch of invisible Shadows accompanying him. 

There's a bunch of Shadows on an island on Centari Prime and Londo blows it up, to Morden's extreme dismay. But will it make the Shadows leave orbit? 

Morden is really not taking this well. Has he never faced a significant setback before?  

Susan Ivanova has rejoined the fleet! Lyta, who's changed her style since not-Kosh's demise, senses the Shadows before they roll in. Susan really made it in the nick of time! And the Vorlons pop in as well. Sheridan's plan is proceeding with impeccable timing. 

Sheridan mined the area and some of each First Ones ships get exploded. Lyta narrates their reaction. they didn't take it well, either, and since they're just chronically overlooking the lower order species, they turn on each other. 

Sheridan sends a hail scolding them for trying to kill billions of humans, and Lyta sends a mental hail. 

Vir gets to live his dream of seeing Morden's decapitated head on pike. Nicely placed flashback, got a laugh out of me when Vir waved. Vir has certainly gotten tempered over time! I think the beginning of the series Vir would have been pretty horrified at seeing an enemy's head on a pike. 

There's some interesting looking ships fighting amongst the Vorlons and Shadows. Londo has sent a message telling the Vorlons there's no Shadows on the planet and has decided that he's already saved Centauri Prime. Vir says no, the planet isn't clean of the Shadows influence, not while Londo is there, and sure enough the Vorlons begin to descend. 

And Vir points out, Londo even informed them of his presence, never thinking of himself as a potential target.

However, those hails from The White Star(s) come through and the Vorlon ship ascends again.

Lyta unwillingly channels the Vorlons, then the Shadows, and they each attach Sheridan and Delenn with lightning. Classy. Lorien explains what Sheridan apparently told him. Let the lighting effect continue, and the battle moves to a psychic space. 

Sheridan is speaking with a representative of the Vorlons. They claim they have been doing what's best for the lower species and Sheridan calls BS. 

The Shadows project themselves as Ivanova for Delenn. Then Franklin. Then Lennier.

All presenting arguments for why war and death makes races stronger, serves evolution. Delenn refuses to believe it.

Sheridan accuses the Vorlons of trying to kill the message, not the messengers. 

Delenn accuses the Shadows of trying to make the lower races pick sides to vindicate their own positions. Sheridan and Delenn both independently refuse to choose. 

After Lorien pulls them out, Ivanova confirms that their mental conversations were broadcast psychically to the whole fleet. The Shadows and Vorlons trap them in a minefield back! Choose. choose. 

John and Delenn give 'em a good lecture. Excellent speeches. 

Although the Shadows and Vorlons try to assasinate them to destroy them and their defiance, a Drazi warship takes a missile intended for B5, and the rest of the fleet moves into a protective position. 

Sheridan says to get out, and Lorien gently lectures them, too.And says he will go with them, to see all who have gone before them. A Vorlon asks plaintively, we will not be alone? And Dad!Lorien says they will never be alone. 

Shadows and Vorlons: *leaves* Marcus: "Did we just win?" Ivanova: "Don't jinx it."

Lorien has one final thing to say: teach the lower races as they arise, and leave when it's your time to step aside. And the First Ones will wait for them beyond the rim. 

Tnat is a pretty cool destiny. 

Partner: "Do you think it's all over?" Me: "Can't be, it's only episode six." 

Vir thinks they've won and should be happy, even if something bad might happen later, because Londo deserves to be happy for a night. Aww. No he doesn't really. 

They have a touching hug. Vir and his stalwart heart have been one of the only subplots that made Londo's plotline even half-way bearable.

Sheridan is excited and sobered by the responsibility of standing on their own, and Delenn thinks the universe feels smaller with the First Ones gone beyond the rim. And although Sheridan feels like the magic is gone, Delenn hasn't lost her sense of whimsy. 

What on earth are we going to do do for the rest of the season! I'm not sure if the future they saw is an alternate one or not. Could be that Centauri Prime still gets destroyed, by a different party or by a late-stage First ones invursion. 

Everything feels wrapped, and nothing feels resolved. Perhaps their problems will be less galaxy-scale now and more on the micro scale for awhile. 

Bet Draalplanet doesn't leave, though. Does a supercomputer planet interfaced with an immortal Minbari count as a First One, I wonder? Or does Draal's comparatively youthful age counteract the First Ones tech?!

next!
