Crescent Radio 97.0 FM
Crescent Radio, a vibrant community radio station based in Rochdale, has been a pivotal platform in my journey as a young journalist. As one of the station’s youngest presenters, this opportunity has significantly boosted my confidence in presenting and improved my journalistic skills. My role here includes hosting shows featuring live studio guests and participating in various community-centric side projects. 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.
Quays News
At University, I had the opportunity to report for Quays News, a student-led broadcast outlet. My contributions consisted of various mediums, including TV and radio, alongside writing articles focused on Manchester and Salford. My experience involved:
– Engaging in TV journalism, where I produced many packages and two ways..
– Contributing to radio broadcasts – also producing packages and live in studio treatments.
– Taking on presenting roles, which allowed me to connect with audiences directly and enhance my presenting skills.
