Ian Anderson - (ex) Editor of BBC Breakfast
I have just been to the pub with Ian Anderson who for many years was the editor of BBC Breakfast. He's very keen to do one off lecturer about TV news. We can use him a bit on Journalism next year. Is he any ghood on media courses, or other courses as a guest lecture. The funny thing is that there is not really much of a slot other than 'graduate careers' where we could plug him in.

sounds very useful - oh the irony - it looks like only about 5 students have signed up for Graduate careers.
ReplyDeleteSurely there is room for an additional series of lectures by people like this - a series owned by the School rather than a programme. But could we be assured of an audience? Are programmes flexible enough to be able to include discussion of such lectures once they have happened? That way non-attendees would feel left out and would want to go to the next one (or not!).
ReplyDeleteyeah - would be good to have a common school guest lecture prog (ie weekly boozing club) on say Thursday evenings. If all lecturers look after one guest a term then it could get a routine for it. We could video these things to produce content for this very site
ReplyDeletewhat's happening about the idea of a common weekly guest lecture spot? This too is a very good way to generate video content. I don't want to organise it. It is secretarial basically. It is a stone gauranteed way of getting video and links though. I could cough up some contacts. It is a very good thing to do. It means doing one evening a erm basically if everyone takes a turn. In return we would get all this video.
