WEBINAR: Getting started with current affairs programming - 14 March 2023
Community radio listeners often tune in to hear local news and information. So how can stations without a newsroom or a team of journalists provide more current affairs content? Or how can an individual program maker get started with making this sort of content?
This session will give you some practical ideas for simple steps you can take, either as a station or as an individual, to include more current affairs programming, and make the most of the content you make.
Presented by:
Sian Gard, Senior Lecturer of Radio and Podcasting at The Australian Film, Television and Radio School (AFTRS)
Sian joined AFTRS from her role of Chief of Staff at ABC Central Victoria, Bendigo. Sian has worked as a presenter, producer, content director and reporter across the ABC (pretty much all across the country). She’s also worked as a researcher and producer for Al Jazeera, a trainer for BBC Media Action, and on-air in commercial radio. Like many of us, Sian started her media career in community broadcasting at Radio Metro on the Gold Coast and Curtin Radio in Perth, and has been in or near a radio studio ever since.
