THE Blyth Media Group Project Opportunity for FREE journalism and media training
Are you aged 18 to 25? Have you ever fancied trying your hand at reporting? Ever wanted to know what’s involved in making a TV quality news report? Do you want to help shape the news? Want something different to do over the summer? Blyth Valley Enterprise Ltd is running a free weeklong course to train 8 to 12 people to become part of the Blyth Media Group.
The training, if sort independently of the BVEL trust would cost around £1500 per person for the week. The course run by an experienced director and journalist using high end broadcast quality equipment is aimed at helping develop skills while promoting Blyth and the surrounding areas.
We are looking for enthusiastic young adults that are passionate about the area and want to get involved in one of the following areas;
• Researching local topics for a news item
• Writing a news article
• Interviewing local community members
• Presenting a news video
• Using a camera to record a news broadcast
• Recording audio in a news broadcast

The course will give you the experience of creating a news item, featuring all the steps required in researching, writing, filming, presenting and editing news items. The project is supported by Blyth CVA, SCENE and Widescope, and has kindly received funding from Blyth Town Council and Northumberland County Council. The training programme is ideal for anyone interested in broadcast media while helping to raise the profile of South East Northumberland.
Applicants are welcome from anywhere within South East Northumberland. This is a great opportunity to write, shape and broadcast the news that is important to young people in the area you live in and to learn skills that could open up doors in later life. The course will run all week from 19th August. You must be available from 9am to 5pm on each of the days Monday-Friday of this week. The course is based at the Blyth Community Enterprise Centre on the Quayside in Blyth.
