In general, I think that the stories pitched by our agency were good ideas and related well to our agency document. My story pitches on the other hand I was not all that pleased with. I should have given myself more time to find stories instead of rushing and pitching two stories that sounded more like advertisements. In the end, a good story was suggested to me which was a lifesaver!
I was pleased with the sources that our agency used in their news pieces. An effort to hear the voices of everyday people was made. For the voting story, it was nice to hear the opinions of the voters and the angle that was taken (on special votes) was a refreshing one. Along with this, it was nice to see a story headline that can be associated with the news value ‘good news’.
Although there was only one person appointed as a techie in our podcast group, we were in need of at least 2. So the production manager helped out in that department. I think, next time round, instead of having two production managers there should be two techies appointed. This way, the job of recording and getting levels right will be less stressful. The other aspect of our agency that I would hope to improve on is our communication. I say this with regards to being aware of what stories our group members are covering. It’s important so as to make sure we don’t end up doing similar stories and so that we are able to broadcast a number of different stories in our podcast.
