At Queensland University of Technology where I currently am studying Journalism, one of our subjects requires doing some television news production.
Today the first group of students has added their stories. For students work I think that they are reasonably professional. On the whole though they need much more work to bring them to professional quality. One of the girls sounds like she already possesses a broadcast voice, which will serve her well in the future.
The reason I am taking interest in these stories is that I will have to produce some of these towards the end of October.
My personal interest is in radio broadcasting. Radio has an intense and immediate nature that television does not have. Don’t get me wrong I love TV, but TV needs pictures. If something major happens with radio you can be on the airwaves in seconds. Television requires you to wait until you have something to show. This can be hours later!
Anyway, if you would like to check out the QUT NEWS productions check here!

Hi there, I was searching for the QUT News site and found your blog. I’m a QUT journo student too! Good to hear that you enjoyed radio… I’m more of a writer than a speaker and found the whole thing pretty scary. Anyway, hope you go well with the rest of your assessment.
