Year Eight pupils at an Arnold school have been given a unique insight into the world of journalism, thanks to a partnership between Nottingham Trent University and Nottinghamshire Live.
Twelve students at Arnold Hill Spencer Academy have been attending an after-school club run by journalism lecturer Jonny Greatrex with the assistance of Nottinghamshire Live editor Natalie Fahy. Students were also given a tour of the media facilities and newsroom at NTU's Centre for Broadcasting and Journalism, in Nottingham city centre.
The pupils have been shown how to identify a story and interview people, as well as being given guidance on how to work their information into the correct structure for a written news story. Nottinghamshire Live photographer Joe Raynor also showed the children how to take photos and what kind of equipment is involved.
