Week 1.

This week I got taught how to use Burli and the equipment in the news booth ready for my news reading shift the following week. I had a practice run through, reading a news story what had been broadcasted in the breakfast show. I think this was really important to do as sometimes I would be in the news booth on my own and would need to know how to use the equipment and software in there. Once I was confident enough on how to use Burli and the equipment I went back up to the MediaHub, to practice online writing which would be a critical part of my NewsDay shifts once they start.

I received a press release from the Northumbria Police about a shop theft in North Shields. http://sr-news.com/2015/03/06/north-shields-shop-theft-northumbria-police-release-cctv-images/ I had to remove the police lingo and use my style guide to write the article so that it was suitable for SRNews audience. The News Editor told me to change my title, as it didn't include key words for the SEO. I then posted the article into the Pending Review so that the news editor could check the article for me before posting it online.
