LATEST WINOL

While not wishing to appear too much of a Christmas humbug, Wednesday's production was pretty shambolic. What made air on the news and sport side was a testament to the hard work you had put in previously in the semester, not about the organisation on the day. Without a deadline it turned into amateur time.

We have not deconstructed the bulletin as such, but it should be said that just because it went out once, doesn't mean that those packages that had poor edits, dodgy sound and black holes in them, should then be repeated in exactly the same form as before.

I'm sure those prospective students who were interviewed by us on the day were more impressed with the studio, rather than what was going on in it, or the way it was run.

Our visiting editor Paul Deal was clearly more inspired by the set up, rather than the performance.

Despite all this it has been a good semester. A number of you have produced work of a very high standard.

Your report and reflections will be important, and should take in to account all your experiences of the year in the studio, what you've learned and how you've learned it, and suggestions of how your time could have been improved.

Enjoy your break, and year twos get ready for a full but very fulfilling semester ahead.

By the way....Happy Christmas.
