Visit to BBC Newcastle

BBC Newcastle

Now I am going to write about the visit to BBC Newcastle and put it down for the silver arts award as we have to put in something of the job industry in media. We had taken photos in groups and below are some images that were taken. 

We went to BBC Newcastle to ask questions when meeting some of the presenters, also to get information on how they worked and what it is like.

 This was the first photo that was at the beginning of the trip where we could see all the people that worked at BBC Newcastle

Here we were taken to a wall of information that had the history of the BBC and their station. It was very interesting and fun to read up on.

Then we were taken to the news studio where we met the news presenter for Look North.

We had then got shown some props that the BBC use for shows like Cbeebies and CBBC.

Finally they showed us the control room to see how they operate behind the actual newsroom.
