Learning to learn

For the past two weeks I’ve been working on two packages for the Heritage day show for the Children’s Radio Foundation. It seems like things always go a little pear shaped when it comes to getting my stories but I had such fun getting to know the two young ladies I worked with that the trouble was all worth it.

Heard on the radio

This week has been a slow week for me. I spent most of it editing the two packages I’ve been working on for the literacy show. It’s all come to an end with the interviewing last week, but I think that through listening through all the interviews again and editing, I’ve actually realised how much I’ve learned from both interviews.

Decisions, decisions!

This week has been a long one with things not going as well as I had hoped but it has all eventually come together. I'm at the end of the week and thinking about how I can make the next two weeks different  and how I could make them count. First i'm taking stock of what has happened over the week.  

The sensitive journalist

I have been working on my first package for the Children’s Radio Foundation this past week. My focus has been on blindness and literacy. I was really hesitant about this story because I have only ever had two small encounters with blind people and I felt under prepared to do a full on interview with a blind person. With that said, I knew how important this story was and so it is important for me to do it as well as I can.
