Visit from Simon Hall

On the 24th November, we had a special guest from a BBC correspondent called Simon Hall who came to visit our Media Studies class to give us an insight into what working in the media was like, and all of the challenges that come up with being involved

Task: During the session, he set us a task of putting 3 headlines out of 5 in order for our show. He then gave us two more headlines when the time scale became shorter, which essentially showed how reporters during a broadcasting have to tackle situations and think constantly on their feet ready for any challenge that may come up.

A key aspect which I took away from this session was the idea of being creative and having the freedom to create your own media, since having these attributes is key necessity for any applicant wanting to work for the BBC as an apprentice or as a graduate.
