So another week has gone by and another production of Winol went live on Wednesday.
This week was an improvement on the last and the website has really begun to come together, so much so that when friends from other universities have visited it upon my recommendation, they have spoken very positively about it.
This week i actually took part in one of the stories covered by our team, the basketball university match on the Wednesday which impressively made the bulletin in time. The bulletin was improvement on the last, and this was no doubt down to the guest editor on this week's show, Andy Steggall's help.
WINOL is something the university and its students should be very proud of because the quality of the news provided is quite outstanding for the work of that of students.
When i joined the university i was lead to the course under the impression that there would be a lot of writing and it would focus on writing styles and types of journalism (i.e more of an english type course) however, this year it has turned into more of a media based course which i find dissapointing as whilst i accept in order to become a journalist you need these skills , i personally think i am at my best doing my own investigative work/interviews and writing articles myself. However, not being one to shy from a challenge, i am determined to keep at it with the course.
This coming week i won't be present on the Monday but have already emailed all the members of the sports team informing them and with potential ideas for this weeks bulletin.
I think maybe when we change roles next semester, im going to apply for the technology role, where i can review gadgets and electronics and write my own articles for the website as this is the type of journalism im truly interested in as opposed to the hands on camera/editing roles.
Bring on Week 5!
