Its been a very busy first quarter - at one point I had 3 separate trips to European cities and another in the UK within 10 days. When you start to recognise cabin crew on different flights across a week you realise you're doing a lot of air miles!! Lots going on in the months to come too.
June sees me lead my fourth master class in news and social media for the European Broadcasting Union. On my website I've listed the TV and radio broadcasters who've participated so far and it is pretty impressive. It's been great to enable different broadcasters to share experiences and ideas.
At the last master class in April, I was delighted that Channel 4 News' Chief Correspondent Alex Thomson attended from the UK as guest speaker. He talked about how Channel 4 use social media and about his recent tweeting from the front line in Afghanistan. Alex seemed to enjoy the master class. Here's a tweet he sent:
You can watch a clip of Alex here.
There are likely to be more news and social media assignments for me in the summer. I think a small article I wrote about social media for Esquire magazine should be published in June too.
I'm chuffed to be doing more training with GMG Radio's news teams in the UK, planned for July and August.
They're a great bunch of journalists deservedly rewarded with Arqiva and Sony Award nominations this year. The Group Head of News James Rea and myself are currently discussing what form the training will take, aiming to do something different and memorable for participants.
Otherwise, I may be travelling to the Middle East on a training project currently being discussed and closer to home there's an imminent assignment at the University of Sunderland.
I'm always happy to discuss ideas for projects so please feel free to get in touch. Whether you're in the UK or abroad it'd be good to talk!
