I wish we had hats like these! (courtesy of http://abhk899.portfolios.cutlines.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/press2.jpg)
As part of this university module we have delved right into the real world of journalism in the form of live rolling news days.
This involved me and the rest of the group B massive putting on our journalistic hats to embark upon a real newsroom situation. Gathering stories, writing stories, ringing contacts for quotes, in a race against the clock to post onto Edinburgh Napier news for the whole world to see!
The fist time we all dived into the task I found it so stressful and nerve-wracking! It was high pressure especially when trying to gather composure and discover my best phone voice to ring officials about official things and official business! With a few mistakes and a few panics we did it and did it quite well considering it was so new to us.
We got even better the next time and for our final assessment I don’t think things could have gone any better. With Luke Langland’s the Geordie wonder at the helm the whole process was calm and enjoyable with everyone helping one another. Everyone was well prepared and you could tell, it was great!
I just hope the marks mirror my views!
