I’ve also been involved in preparing interviews and questions for my fellow presenters.
Radio News Hub
At Radio News Hub, a news provider serving over 400 radio stations across the UK and internationally, I embarked on a one-week placement. My responsibilities included writing hourly news bulletins for live broadcasts. Beyond bulletin writing, I actively sought new stories to cover, interviewing individuals to bring fresh insights into the broadcasts. Using Adobe Audition, I edited these interviews into several clips, ready to be included in the hourly news bulletins.
