Climate change – tone and language
Climate change is a complex and urgent story, demanding careful consideration of tone and language from the journalists covering the issue.
A journalist must not have an agenda
Our role as journalists is to unearth information, prepare it and then display it for the benefit of the audience. We are not there to fabricate, manipulate or force.
Making documentaries for radio
Documentaries are in-depth stories told in a more interesting way. A great documentary engages listeners and puts them at the heart of the storytelling.
The use of idioms in journalism
Journalists producing serious news coverage must always write in a way that is clear, accurate, free from jargon.
Editing audio for radio news
We edit audio because we do not always have the time on air to broadcast a whole interview, but it's important we do it well.
Interviewing without questions
Some interviews don't have to be a rigid question-and-answer session. A more conversational approach - without asking a single question - can sometimes yield richer insights.
Handling breaking news
Journalists need to have a system in place for covering a breaking news story in order to know who does what and when.
