NOW BOOKING FOR OCTOBER 2010                                           FIRST EIGHT CLIENTS ONLY!                                                                                 

You may be about to start at university, just completed a degree, a radio presenter who has a nose for news, interested in a career move, or just curious...

This brand new, exciting, one-day course will give you an insight into radio journalism within the UK!  Ideal as a 'toe-in-the-water' taster, for those who want to know more, before deciding if it's for them. 

Run by fully qualified radio journalists, our usual trainers include Diane Bramall and Scott Read.  Diane has worked on a number of UK radio stations, with the experience of being News Editor at one north of England commercial radio station.  Scott Read is currently freelance with BBC Radio Lancashire sport.

With a maximum of eight students, the Radio Journalism Training Course - An Introduction starts at 09:00 and finishes at approximately 17:15.

You'll learn about how radio journalism differs from newspapers and the competition from 24 hour TV news.  Hear about radio journalism and the law - don't get caught out!

You'll be shown our mobile radio studio and given chance to practice on the computer playout system equipment and mixer.

You'll learn how to write radio news copy from a selection of press releases, plus how to prioritise news stories and give them a local angle, if required.  Hear how BBC local radio and local commercial radio portray the same story during a bulletin.

After lunch, hear expert advice on bulletin reading, good examples... and bad ones!  Plus, we look at the use of accents and the golden rules of radio journalism and bulletin reading.

Later, you'll be practicing reading a news bulletin, with, of course, expert coaching!  Don't worry, the other students will be working in a separate room, whilst you record.  So, no distractions or embarrassment!

During the radio journalism course you'll also take a look at digital editing.

You'll leave with a certificate and advice notes.  Within a few days, we'll have sent you a recording of your bulletin, along with an appraisal.

The cost?  Just £165 (no VAT)!  The Radio Journalism Training Course - An Introduction is run from a venue within East Lancashire.  The cost per person also includes refreshments and a buffet lunch.  The course is open to clients aged 18 or over and limited to a maximum of eight students per session.  A minimum of three students are required for the course to go ahead.  To book, or for more information, simply call us on 01282 452 451, or e-mail us:
