We are all looking forward to the broadcast journalism film competition which we are running for 13 to 19 year olds. The deadline for entries has been extended to the 9th of December so if you have an idea for the film look at the instructions.
I had a great time learning some of the ground rules of mentoring from the Mediabox team who are providing the funding for five winning ideas. The five film makers will be given a day's workshop on the 15th of December and assigned a mentor.
Can I encourage you to enter this (or encourage youngsters that you know), because this is a valuable opportunity for kids who don't normally get a chance to gain media experience. The whole process will be fun and hugely rewarding. And thanks to Colin at Bradford's National Media Museum who'll be hosting the workshops.
