In the first assessment we were well organised, with prior knowledge of our roles and how we would be structuring the day. We had created our own stings in the studio, which we hoped would reflect the energy of TalbotFM. We were aware that the gap between bulletins was only two hours, a short amount of time to try and find new audio. Therefore, we recorded additional interviews in the morning which we could save and use later in the day.
Conducting phone interviews brought in many ethical decisions. Should we be open and explain that we are students, possibly leading to rejection? Or would it be better to try and emphasise that our work was for educational purposes? Our group agreed that it was best to be truthful from the outset. Despite being turned away numerous times we had plenty of alternatives that eventually ended in successful interviews.
We were prepared for our afternoon bulletin and met the challenge of a breaking story when information about baby Peter arose. Our news agenda was ordered appropriately and related to our younger audience. My sport desks were smooth and newsworthy, supporting the quality of the team's journalism.
