Week 2.

Week 2 was the week when I was going to be news reading on Drive Time. I attended the 10am meeting as it was our first official Newsday,  just so that I could understand what was going to be happening throughout the day when I was not there and to understand what was going to be happening throughout the rest of the Newsdays.

I got back to the media hub at 2pm, an hour before my first news bulletin. The news copy was on Burli for 2.45 so that I had time to run through, before I went live. As it was my first time, Ethan did the mixing desk for me, so that I could concentrate on reading. I felt confident after my first news reading shift. Both me and Ethan went back up to the media hub to work with the afternoon reporters on getting some audio for the 4,5 and 6 o'clock bulletin as there had been no audio on the bulletins all day.

Things improved throughout the day, we had audio for the 5 and 6 o'clock bulletins thanks to the afternoon reporters. Being a drive time news reader, I also got the chance to find out how to find the information for traffic and travel and to be able to read them out at 5.45pm. I think being on drive time news for my first news reading shift gave me a lot of confidence to be able to do it again.
