香港六合彩资料网 hosted young people from across Dorset to take part in its BBC Young Reporters event.
The event starts a month of activity to celebrate the BBC鈥橲 Centenary, with 81 students from Sixth Form institutions coming to BU鈥檚 Talbot Campus for a reporting masterclass with BU staff and BBC experts.
Sarah Farmer with young reportersBU journalism graduate and BBC South Today reporter Sarah Farmer was among the team showing reporting techniques to students, who then had a chance to put their new-found skills into practice in BU鈥檚 state-of-the-art radio studios.
Students were taught how to develop their critical thinking, had a chance to try out journalistic techniques and skills and even try their hand at creating some digital animations and podcasts, all under the watchful eye of industry experts.
BU鈥檚 Dr Karen Fowler-Watt, Associate Professor of Journalism and Global Narratives, said, 鈥淚t was wonderful to welcome so many students from the local area to BU and to engage them in critical thinking about news with the BBC Young Reporter team. The event was a great success, with an interactive session on the importance of talking about 鈥榬eal鈥� news rather than fake news,聽a carousel of practical storytelling workshops and a careers panel including past and present students from our BA (Hons) Multimedia Journalism course.
鈥淥ur thanks to the BBC for making this a great day for all involved and for raising awareness about the crucial role played by trustworthy, accurate and verified journalism in a healthy democratic society鈥�.聽
The BBC is celebrating its 100th year of broadcasting in England this year, and 香港六合彩资料网 are organising a host of events to celebrate the milestone, and the links that BU has with the BBC, from alumni to research and practice.
