On Tuesdays over the course of the next month minimum I will be carrying out work experience at Mansfield 103.2 in different areas of radio production.
Tuesday 10th May 2011
This day consisted of sitting in with the news team and helping produce bulletins to go on air.
I began the day sitting in and watching the staff read the news on air, anticipating the day ahead. Once we returned to the news desk I was left to research a story about a new Tesco store being opened in Market Warsop, following this I constructed the bulletin and produced a voicer for when the story aired.
Later on in the day I carried out an interview with Kevin Hopkinson of Bolsover council after we'd received a press release that morning about the possible sale and regeneration of their Offices. I then edited the interview and saved 3 parts of the interview which were suitable for use on air and best described the actions taking place in less then 25 seconds. After recording and editing the telephone interview I had to write the bulletins to go with the interview clips.
My final task of the day was to create a bulletin about a local bus driver who had won an award, so I wrote the copy and produced the voicer to go with the news story on air.
I have a copy of all of the pieces I have written during this experience for future reference.
