WINOL Week 3 Debrief

The bulletin was very light on news this week. It seems we really were scraping the barrel with stories. Charity stories, job fairs, and a new fire station for Winchester-not really hard hitting news. The packages were all of high standard nonetheless, with reporters improving every week.

Angus pointed out that the headlines and links were very weak again, and has now banned the link "....has more", and "I spoke to...."

The reporters have been told (or reminded) to use their best pictures to entice their viewers, because really good footage will want to be seen again by viewers.

Finally, when using Vox Pops in a package, do not say that views were mixed. That is the point of vox pops-Voice of the People. We are aiming to get a variety of opinions, so there is no need to say it in the voiceover.

I thought the presenting was very good, and very professional, and good work with the live OB from outside. It was very well organised, with people either side of the presenter stopping people from walking through the shot.

It was a very good effort from everyone this week. All deadlines were met, and the Sports section was very strong, with lots of matches covered this week.

Finally, the running order needs to be revised carefully. The fire station story as an "and finally" followed by Justinas' Polish Bulletin, made it look like the sports highlights had been put in halfway through the news stories.

It has also been brought to the attention that we need a news planner. I will be finding someone suitable for the role, and reveal this person very soon!

The bulletin seems to be improving every week.
