WHAT IS RADIO JOURNALISM?The Certificate in Radio Journalism is aimed at teaching students how to identify news that is interesting and accurate and how to then present it in a clear and objective manner. This course is therefore designed to develop writing skills for radio broadcasting specifically, as radio segments need to be clear, precise, catchy and ethical. Radio news needs to be easily understood, without compromising on accuracy and professionalism, and this course would certainly be a step in the right direction if you’re considering becoming a radio journalist. This course therefore deals with the foundations of radio journalism – how to best write the news for your listener. This listener cannot go back to read it again if he or she missed something the first time and gets only one chance to hear what you have worked so hard to put into words. You’ll have heard of the ideal, to ‘inform, educate, and entertain’ as a radio aim, and doubtless your own ideal is to find out what’s happening, and fairly and accurately tell people about.
