The Media
Toolkit
In this section, work from throughout “The Media Toolkit” module will be presented. Such work will vary from; Podcasts, VoxPops, Radio bulletins, Radio broadcasting and more. Over the course of the year I will be updating this page with my latest work which hopefully over time can show my progression in the technical side of Journalism, as well as my my very first pieces of work in this module to show how I began.

Black History Month interview with Courage Khumalo and Caleb Azumah Nelson
Had the opportunity to speak with two Coventry university alumni about Black History month as part of a campaign run by the sports union at the university. Was a great privilege to be able to speak to both Caleb and Courage as they were both great people with bubbling personalities. It was great hearing about their opinions on Black history month.
Practice News Day
In week 9 of my course, we finally got to shoot a practice News Day, just like the ones you see on the BBC evening news. For this practice session I was in charge of putting the clips of external videos together and in order, making sure that they played when they were needed. As well as that I was in charge of timings for the script, calling out when clips needed to be played and when audio for the presenters should be turned back on.
