There are never enough hours in the working day to complete our tasks, are there?

So how do we prioritise what needs to be done first — and what do we do when another priority crashes in and wrecks your plan for the day?

This no-nonsense workshop will surprise you, test you, amuse you and give you a roller-coaster insight into an industry where missed deadlines simply aren’t allowed: TV News Production. Led by a BBC TV reporter with thirty years’ experience, you’ll debate news values in teams, make quick judgments, argue your case, deal with sudden change, and write quickly and succinctly … as the On Air Deadline approaches. You may even have a go reading off a moving television autocue!

Key take aways:

• You’ll develop your confidence in speaking your mind to strangers, whilst listening to their points too
• You’ll discover the techniques reporters use to focus on what’s relevant, and ditch what isn’t
• You’ll enhance your written communication skills by turning dull facts into enticing headlines
• You’ll experience drop-dead time pressure … and react in ways that may surprise you.
