Children in need 2020
Bear hugs may be out this year but spirits remained high throughout Children in Need. There’s no denying 2020’s been challenging but viewers successfully raised more than £37m to help young people across the UK. This year’s CiN adapted to the practical challenges of Lockdown 2 with some significant format changes, including shortening the […]
Fabulous feedback!
We’re still managing to do quality media training ‘in person’ as well as online. It’s preferable to train face to face – and put delegates through their paces in a realistic and importantly – safe way. Our trainers are working to stringent social distancing guidelines when coaching online, press, radio and TV interviews. Our presentation […]
The year so far
2020 has changed life as we knew it… its been tough, with many losing loved ones. It’s six months since lock down was announced. Maria Veronese has been looking back at how we’ve pulled together….
Online Zoom Techniques and Media Master Classes
We’re getting a lot of enquiries from businesses and organisations hit by the pandemic. Having to adapt and answer questions from staff, the public, clients and media has been stressful for many, particularly when striving to keep their colleagues and customers safe. So we’ve been travelling the country, adapting our Media Master Classes to individuals’ […]
Mediapro’s team safely keeps on keeping on
As restrictions ease, Mediapro’s journalist trainers are continuing to successfully work to strict social distancing rules. All of our media coaching and reporting is held at least 2 metres apart to ensure our interviewees and reporter trainers are kept safe. It is a rule the BBC currently adheres to as well… from live outside broadcasts […]
Mediapro’s frontline journalist media trainers inspired by community as they cover daily news stories
The positivity of the people we meet out on the road are keeping the Mediapro training team going. As we do local and national online, radio and TV interviews, our journalist trainers all say it’s the ‘normal’ people, not the celebrities, that are the most inspiring. Key workers like the nations posties have working throughout […]
New news way of working
It’s been intense. It’s been sad at times and it’s been rewarding. Working for BBC news full-time throughout the pandemic can be a surreal experience. The way we interview, shoot and edit news stories has changed. As you can see we do everything at least 2 metres apart and we frequently use sanitiser and […]
Mediapro embraces positive news stories
We’ve been focusing on the positive side of the global response to Covid-19 – the community support, the volunteers and of course the NHS. From the start of the outbreak, TV reporter and Mediapro Media Trainer Maria Veronese has been putting together regular BBC news updates… and to boost local spirits she’s also taken part […]
Mediapro turns focus on the news
Mediapro’s journalists have postponed all face to face training to work in their respective newsrooms. Keeping the public informed and up to date is obviously important… during a crisis such as this. Though it can seem very strange going to work when everyone is in lockdown as Maria Veronese reports:
Strange time to celebrate
We are all in it together – all be it 2 metres apart! It’s hard to believe, Mediapro’s been in business media training for 16 years. We raise a glass behind locked doors, not to us, but to the NHS doing a remarkable job on the front line. In the meantime, our […]
