People are now coming to news conferences with stories already filmed and ready to go which gives the editors a much richer pool of news stories to choose from. As a result, the news content this week sounded and looked far more like a regional news programme than any of the previous editions.
The one problem that I think holds back the project a little is the time it takes to upload the bulletin onto the internet. Clearly this is something that can't be helped; the internet is a fickle mistress and if she's not in the mood...
From a personal perspective another fairly solid week. It has been tremendous fun so far being involved in the sports planning and presenting. Despite that, I am starting to warm to the idea of installing a second earpiece kit in the studio due to the fact that after every VT, it seems as if I'm on screen looking like a goldfish while I wait for confirmation that I am on air.
Andy Steggall was a fantastic help for the sports team. Having been quite conservative in our script writing, it was quite refreshing to be told that we can really let ourselves go and have some fun with our scripts. All of this means that I'm relishing this week's edition!
