Got a question related to journalism? Ask it here / NCTJ accreditation

« Last post by LemonMeringue on May 17, 2013, 02:04:16 PM »

I've just moved to the UK, and while I have a BA in Journalism, I am considering the NCTJ Core Skills for Journalists course.

Has anyone here done it and would you recommend it? I'd like to look at it in more depth before I do, as it's a tiny bit pricey! I am currently working for a media company at the moment too.

General discussion / Audio editing, clean-up and mastering.

« Last post by octav9 on May 16, 2013, 09:15:49 AM »

Hello gentlemen. As journalists maybe you need to make daily entries that you want to clean or to hear more clearly. Or you may recording an interview in which you would like to cut some parts that you don't need.
My name is Octav and I am a sound engineer with 5 years experience in the field. Maybe many of you are good to masterizeze and to clean up an audio file, that's why I turn to those who don't have time to masterizeze or to clean the recordings or even do not know too well how to do this.

If you need help in this area, you can count on me.

Send me audio on my e-mail address: octav9@yahoo.com or you can add me on skype: octav.popovici

P.S. Sorry if my english is not so well..

Regards, Octav P.

General discussion / Launch of new survey on journalists & bloggers' experiences of libel and privacy

« Last post by jtownend on May 14, 2013, 02:51:44 PM »

Journalists and bloggers' (anonymous) views and experiences of libel and privacy law are sought for this new survey, part of my doctoral project at the Centre for Law, Justice and Journalism at City University London.

Full details can be found here: http://meejalaw.com/2013/05/14/announcement-launch-of-new-survey-on-the-legal-experiences-and-views-of-journalists-and-online-publishers/
The survey can be accessed directly here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/medialawresearch

Very little is known about out-of-court settlements, and the legal resources available to individual journalists and bloggers: please help inform our understanding of this crucial area of law, by participating in the survey.

Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.

Freelance journalists / Re: Online platform for boosting the C.V, and gaining experience.

« Last post by PeterShrew on May 09, 2013, 05:28:57 PM »

As an update: MoonProject.co.uk now receives around 120,000 visitors per month and has over 800 authors. Our YouTube videos collectively have over half a million views (there are only two of them!) and our Facebook and Twitter pages together boast over 20,000 followers.

This really is an excellent opportunity for those who wish to have articles professionally published online to get ahead and improve the contents of their C.V or gain work experience in the fields of editing, writing, marketing and business/advertising.

Many thanks and good luck.

Got a question related to journalism? Ask it here / Re: Column Inches

« Last post by John Thompson on May 09, 2013, 12:28:40 PM »

Actually, having said that, I notice that journalisted.com is recording "column inches" by author eg http://journalisted.com/sarah-marshall-1

"Journalisted (arbitarily) takes a column inch to be 30 words."

That does not sound like a reliable metric to me. Columns vary in width, text varies in point size etc. Word counts are not really comparable either, as newspaper writing styles also vary with some being more verbose than others.

I am not aware of any tool that will analyse print content in this way, but you might have more luck with analysis of online coverage.

Hi All,

Does anyone know, is there a website or a method to know the amount of column inches allocated to any given topic?

Thanks
