Course Aims:
To strengthen the capacity of broadcast journalists/programme-makers from developing and newly-emerging countries and of the organisations they work for to compile and produce factual programming designed to inform audiences in an effective and attractive way about development-related issues and events of importance to their everyday lives.

Course Rationale:               
Broadcasting organisations working through radio, television and increasingly new media are an important source of information to people around the world;  a source of information that can help people to make informed decisions about their lives, improve their quality of life and contribute to the social and economic progress of the societies they are a part of. Broadcasting organisations with a serious mission to inform have to do more in their factual programming than keep their audiences up to date with the news of the day; they have to place it in a context, examine and encourage debate about its (potential) impact on their listeners and viewers and where necessary provide a follow-up. And beyond current affairs there is a whole range of development-related factual programming which provides audiences with valuable information in areas that are linked to the interests and aspirations they have in their private and in their working lives, to their rights and duties as individuals and to their place and role in society as a whole. Much factual programming suffers from unimaginative treatment and an approach to the conveying of information that is routine and shows scant regard for the information needs of the audience.  In an era of increased competition for audiences and of a proliferation of sources of information, the challenge facing journalists and programme-makers working in factual programming, is to make their programmes more effective and attractive. Part of that challenge – most evident in the application of Internet as a source of information – is about encouraging and developing ways for audiences to interact with their sources of information.

 

Course Content:                 
Participants will explore a variety of formats used in contemporary factual programming and analyse their strengths and weaknesses and their suitability for different target audiences. Special attention will be given to the skills required to develop and present creative programme ideas, to carry out programme research and to produce  effective and attractive factual programming making appropriate  use of different formats. As well as carrying out a number of radio or television course assignments focusing on development-related issues of concern to their audiences at home participants from both media will also develop ideas and factual content for the internet ; in doing so they will learn to combine text, photo’s, audio and video to best effect and to make use of the possibilities offered by the medium to interact with the target audiences as a means to gain feedback, give additional information, encourage discussion and debate,  and develop closer ties between the broadcasting organisation and its audience.

Considerable emphasis will be placed on teamwork and where appropriate on combined sessions involving group work and interaction between radio and television participants. Course assignments will be carried out using analogue and digital recording and editing equipment. After leaving the Netherlands at the end of the course participants will become part of a network of journalists and other experts through RNTC’s website, intended to foster co-operation and the further exchange of ideas and experience in the field of factual programming.

I do believe all of the ideas you have offered
to your post. They are really convincing and can certainly work.
Still, the posts are too short for starters.
May you please lengthen them a little from next time?
Thanks for the post.

Tomb Raider, Mega Moolah, Mermaid's Millions, and Blackjack are some of the new Android game apps that have been released from Microgaming's partner,
Spin 3. WIFI:Als Verbindungsmoglichkeiten ins Internet stehen Ihnen WIFI wireless lan zu Verfugung.
The reason for this rather strange feature is that, as described above, apps in the Android Market are
listed as they are submitted, without any testing.

For some people, renting those games was another option, which yet again burns a hole in their pocket.

I didn't want to drive all the way back to Autozone to pick up a new terminal post clamp, so I figured I'd attach it and see
what happened. So, follow the battery power saving tips above to get the most bang for your buck.

The particular electronic cigarette ego basic starter
kit is fantastic for new users. Continually letting a battery
drain will make it die much faster then it
normally would. For the first generation, you'll need to release the back cover from the unit by running a shim along the edge of the unit to release all of the clips holding the backing on.

As you lift out the screen you'll see it is still attached via a ribbon cable. Mobile computing is continuously getting better with best performance, smarter processors, light weight and handy designs, but as we all know, the main power of the mobile computing device (weather it is laptop, mobile, PDA or e-book reader) resides in it's
battery capacity.

You could experience natural disasters like cyclone, tornadoes, earthquakes, and fire.
Like a pc when much too many programs are downloaded at the
moment the process can shut lower from overuse. You're punished more than and in excess of for generating faults in education and encouraged never ever to do it.
