NBS Journos Start At The Top
The new NBS radio journalism course in Liverpool is to take place atop the iconic Radio City tower, 450 above the streets of one of the world’s great cities.
As well as stunning views, NBS students will get the chance to work alongside Radio City’s award-winning news and programming teams. During their 13-week course, which is accredited by BJTC (Broadcast Journalism Training Council), NBS radio news students will also experience newsroom life first-hand at one of the country’s top stations and will leave at the end of their course, fully equipped for an exciting career.
NBS Director, Rory McLeod, commented: ” Radio City does things properly. It has had an enviable reputation for relevant and successful radio programming for many years. It’s famous for its news and sports output, both of which have played a huge part in the station’s success. And, it’s produced an amazing number of quality radio people. ”
He said: ” We’re so grateful to Radio City and its owner, the Bauer Group, that they’re prepared to share their kowledge and best practices with our students. This will reinforce the NBS Radio News Course’s reputation as the best practical post graduate broadcast journalism course in the UK”.
Radio City Station Director, Richard Maddock said: “It’ll be great to have some of the next generation of talent in the building and to be able to reinforce the importance of high quality local journalism. ”
The course starts on 21 September 2009. The course leader is Simon Crabtre, an experienced radio and tv journalist.
