===Title===Mosh News===Title===Mosh News provides the latest news, sports and weather in Hull and East Riding. Not only does the news focus around the Yorkshire area - it provides the latest news from around the world.

With budding journalists from across the globe, Mosh News is a news website which is run by Wilberforce student, Kallum Green who has the ambition to create a successful news website which helps journalists and photographers get a name for themselves through their work.

They make it easy for anyone to apply to become an official writer and photographer for the website and you then get your own 'profile' which allows you to use it as a reference for future jobs as proof of your work whether it's articles you have written or photographs you have taken - it is all there for you to use as a portfolio. Mosh has made it easy for you to apply to become a writer, photographer, administrator, editor and more by simply using the handy links provided on their website - Join The Team.

With an average of 20,000 daily readers, Mosh News is obviously a very popular source for news and sports.

With an amateur start to the website back in 2011, the website didn't seem to be going anywhere within the first couple of weeks. Suddenly, the founder and CEO of the website, Kallum Green, discovered that he was seeing hundreds of visitors everyday in Hull alone. This made he extremely happy to say he was the proud owner of the website. He began telling people at his college about his work and succession which he had began making through the website, which by itself gained more visitors.

After a couple of months the site was averaging at 3,000 viewers each day. A year on, and the website receives 20,000 daily readers.

With the support and sponsorships from Youth Enterprise, Wilberforce College, Kingston Communications and The Cooperative, the website has certainly grabbed the attention of plenty of big named companies across the UK.

Thanks to the approach from Charles Cracknell, the owner of Youth Enterprise, his offer to Kallum really made him realise that what he had created meant something to people. He began working on finding a new way to create a more mature website design that attracted more people and was more user-friendly.

Stumbling across different people that issued their services for designing the site, Green took it upon himself to create a new website within one week - and not only that, he had to learn how to code and website and design one. After hard research and many late nights (many of which made him so tired he missed some college lessons - taking a massive risk with his education), he launched the new website late 2012 moving away from the amateur look which was found by using platforms such as Yola and Moonfruit. Not achieving the greatest GCSE results, this was something that Kallum needed to really make sure that at least one of these things would work.

Plenty of people along the way told him that what he was creating and trying to achieve that it wouldn't work. He has for sure proven those people very, very wrong.

Recently, they have celebrated the birthday of the website/company
