WINOLive

Another couple of weeks with WINOL live have passed since I last updated this blog. Two weeks ago we had quite a good bulletin up and running almost at 5pm (a little bit delayed due to technical issues) but we felt good to be able to produce an even better bulletin than the previous ones. This week the headline news included a car crash taking place in Winchester and the various Children in Need events that took place on campus.



I went out to get some photos from the annual Christmas lights that were put up in town and also to interview BID's manager Keith Wilson to find out more about the annual event. In the end, my package got scrapped - even though I absolutely loved it - and I ended up helping Maxine Erasmus putting together her package on the dreadful conditions students at Erasmus Park lives under in their student halls.



Interesting right? Well better check out bulletins out every week to be sure not to miss anything!!

Everything from the first sparks of news ideas to producing the final product seemed to go so much smoother and easier this week than the three weeks before, which is a good sign - hopefully! Also, teamwork and communication appeared to exist in a much larger scale then earlier, which I think helped everyone in all positions to not feel as stressed and concerned about getting everything ready in time.

Unfortunately I was sick last week and could not participate in the bulletin being put together then, but from what I have seen and heard it did not go as smoothly as the previous week. The wonderful world of technical equipment was not on our side and even though packages were produced on time, things fell through due to dodgy equipment and such.

Hopefully this week will be a super hit, since it is our last real bulletin before our Christmas break! So do not forget to tune in on Wednesday at 5pm when our bulletin goes live :)
