Today we took part in a zoom call which was promoting jobs in media. We started off by thinking about what media is specifically local media. It tells us in our local community all the big events and news \u2013 a bit like the glue of the community. It begins with curiosity and asking questions. What ways can we see and hear about local media? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the call, three special guests came on to speak to us about their jobs. The first special guest was Lucy from ITV Granada reports. She told us about the awards she has won for her work, her favourite film and who works for her at ITV. Part of her job is finding the best pictures then making sure they come up with great headlines before sharing them with everyone online or on the television. Lucy has to ensure her team work to a deadline, decide which stories to tell and checking that the facts they are sharing are true. Can you remember what her top three skills are that she uses in her job? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second speaker was Vijay who is a local radio presenter from Leicester. Within his job, he has interviewed people from all over the world. Vijay runs the radio station that broadcasts 24hours a day, 7 days a week. Vijay loves working with people from different cultures and backgrounds. He promoted the fact that we should use our voices well to show our passions. As part of Vijay\u2019s job, he finds stories that matter to the community and he works with different people \u2013 schools, community groups and volunteers. Amazingly, the radio station uses different languages! Subjects like English, Maths, Computing and Geography and History help within his job. Can you remember anyone Vijay has met? What were his top tips?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The third guest was Alice. Her role is to write stories about the community that people will enjoy like her report on the cat that lived in a car home for two decades! Can you remember her favourite news stories? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Would you like to work within media?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
