Some BBC channels and radio stations 'may well' have to close, director general says bbc.in/3V824ve
Narrator: they didn’t get the appropriate training. They thought they were ‘getting with the times’. But they created a reel and, without realising it, they defamed someone and ended up facing legal action. ‘But I thought I could say what I want,’ they wailed to their followers.
More job losses with journalism, in particular football media. BBC Sport, you’d think, should be leading by example - but now apparently feel the need to make a further 41 redundancies.
First and foremost, solidarity with those who have suffered any job losses - Reach PLC closing those local outlets was another huge blow - and that was brewing for some time.
My advice for anyone wishing to make a start as a journalist- and it’s horrible to say it - but don’t do an NCTJ course. Don’t waste your money. Given the scope nowadays, it’s utterly pointless. Don’t even bother with a journalism degree either.
Papers are dead, so get with the times. Get on YouTube, get on Tik Tok, use X and make a name for yourself. Use initiative - tell the world stories and entertain. That’s the only way.
Concerned town councillors are calling for charges at a car park to be axed - saying they are having 'negative impacts'
