Year one are approaching their first live news days and year two (and some of three) are going to be running the general election coverage. It is therefore ESSENTIAL that you re very familiar with the OFCOM regulatory code for broadcast journalism. This was covered thoroughly on the law course, but I want to give you all an additional simple test on the code before we go truly live.
The test will be purely diagnostic and will not count towards your degree. Nevertheless you will want to do well in the test. Thus I have created a TEN MINUTE VIDEO with all you need to know at a basic level. I would appreciate it if ALL STUDENTS (all years) listen to the TEN MINUTE OFCOM GUIDE on the WINCHESTER JOURNALISM YOUTUBE SITE. In addition there is a direct link to the OFCOM VIDEO here.
YEAR TWO: We will a 15 minute test as part of the WINOL de-brief tomorrow (Monday).
YEAR ONE: We will give you a similar 15 minute test after the HCJ lecture on Tuesday, so that it is done before the newsday on Wednesday. The HCJ lecture will last for one hour as usual and then we will give you the test afterwards. So the Tuesday session will end at about 4.30 and not 4.00 as usual on a lecture day. You will have no difficulty at all with the test if you listen to the YOU TUBE VIDEO. You may bring your notes to the session on Tuesday.
Year Three we will likewise do a diagnostic test during the Tuesday morning session. It should nbot be onerous and again it will be very straightforward if you listen to the video.
