Learning centres on newsroom simulations with higher complexity than Term 1. You will chair and contribute to editorial briefings, originate treatments, build and time running orders, brief reporters and presenters, and co-ordinate with gallery and studio teams. Production tasks include scripting and subbing, picture and audio selection, headline writing, cueing and back-timing, with rehearsal and transmission under deadline pressure. You will compile and present news and plan corresponding digital output that extends and promotes broadcast content. Reflective practice and peer review are embedded to consolidate learning and professional standards.

Feedback is provided in a number of ways throughout your module. This includes feedback you receive during teaching from both peers and lecturers and that provided for formative assessment. Following an assessment, you will be given your marks and feedback in line with the assessment regulations and policy.

JOM117 - ​Broadcasting in Action​: Reporting, Producing, Presenting 

JOMTBCBJ01-PER-ALV1

Your learning will build on the foundations established in Term 1, with newsroom simulations that are more complex and demanding. You will be expected to take greater responsibility for editorial decision-making, presentation, and technical coordination, producing longer-form bulletins and more ambitious multiplatform output. 
Lectures and workshops will continue to introduce key professional practices, but the emphasis will be on newsroom-based learning. You will plan and run story conferences, originate and develop treatments, and manage the production of news programmes to broadcast-ready standards. Newsdays will require you to work with greater independence, rotating through leadership roles such as producer, editor, presenter, and technical director. 
Learning resources and exemplars will be provided via the Virtual Learning Environment to support preparation, including case studies, compliance guidance, and technical tutorials. Guided independent study will focus on story research, portfolio preparation, and reflective practice, helping you to assemble a professional-quality showreel that demonstrates your readiness for industry. 
Formative feedback will continue after each newsday, supported by group and peer review. These discussions will help you refine your work and integrate feedback directly into your portfolio and showreel.
