Reporting is one of the most glamorous jobs in media offering the chance to witness history first-hand and to rub shoulders with those who create it. It can be a genuinely exciting profession which could see you covering a terrorist attack one week and reporting on a war next week.
In fact it is one of the few jobs in the world which makes you feel privileged and honoured to be doing it. News Reporting is also demanding , tiring, high-pressured and it carries a huge weight of responsibility.
This course will provide insights on the right mindset you need to be a great TV and Radio News Reporter and the must-have editorial and technical skills to succeed in this most high-profile yet demanding job.
This self paced course will also cover new technology and how they are shaping news output and the challenges news management teams are encountering and embracing to remain relevant.
There is also a section for those that are in News Management or who would like to move towards a management role.
