成人快手 Wales today launches News Academy for young reporters
|
成人快手 Wales Today is offering budding young reporters across Wales the unique opportunity to produce and broadcast their own news story, to be shown on 成人快手 ONE Wales' flagship news programme.
听
Following the success of reality shows such as 成人快手 ONE's Fame Academy and 成人快手 TWO's The Apprentice, 成人快手 Wales Today launches News Academy on its programme on 成人快手 ONE Wales on Monday 2 October at 6.30pm.
听
Presenter Jason Mohammad will be back at his old school to announce the details of the competition.
听
The competition is open to pupils in schools and colleges across Wales between the ages of 11 and 18.
听
Everyone who enters has to come up with a story or issue that they want to share with the nation.
听
Once all the entries are in, Wales Today will pick two finalists from five regions across Wales to compete in News Academy.
听
The ten finalists will be invited to Cardiff to put their ideas to a judging panel of 成人快手 presenters, including Jason Mohammad, who will then choose a winner from each region.
听
For the five winners, a place in News Academy means that they get a 成人快手 camera for two weeks and a mentor who will help them film and edit their story.
听
They can involve as many people as they like from their school or college in the filming and the final five films will be broadcast on Wales Today.
听
成人快手 Wales Today presenter Jason Mohammad says: "It's going to be great fun - we're appealing to every teenager to give it a shot - and we're really looking forward to seeing some of their ideas."
听
Mark O'Callaghan, 成人快手 Wales Head of News, says: "It's going to be a fantastic opportunity to hear young voices on Wales Today, and see what stories matter to them."
