The sequel (and hopefully not disapointing post)

So here we are in week 3 of me attending Uni. I am still 18 and according to my ID my name is still Josh Francis.

So in today’s class I can conclude I probably wouldn’t prosper in the production team at the BBC thanks to what was quite an interesting quiz on Safeguarding trust. Safeguarding trust for those who are aren’t to media savvy and those who are marking me is the method into how the BBC ensure they maintain their strong relationship with the public by ensuring all content is truthful and adheres various standards of tastes and decency, this works on the whole except for a few incidents which slip through the net (like the Andrews Sachs scandal). Overall I think this course is going to teach me a quality I may be missing in finding ways to maintain clear and concise programming despite errors. To break this down in case I’ve used to many big words I need to think more about the human element of journalism and think more carefully about if my work may ethically be a little of, I understand the laws like the Defamation act (in where if I saw something untrue or offence I could be taken to court), it’s just a shame their isn’t an aptly titled The journalism decency act (copyrighting that name if I ever end up in law).

Today I’ve also learnt that the BBC are pretty determined to maintain this high standard trust by releasing this quiz which acts like a gateway into the thought process of the BBC production staff and ceases to amaze me how the very little details to do count. Like how a pre recorded news report which comments on the traffic will need an additional comment by a live reporter to confirm the traffic is still pretty bad.
