WINOL Debrief - 04-05-2011

This week’s bulletin was difficult to produce due to the number of OOVs and the Skype interview as the ‘And finally’ package. We now have an American Correspondent Meredith Muller who discussed the atmosphere in America following the death of Osama Bin Laden, and their reaction to the Royal Wedding. This may not seem relevant to our audience of Winchester and Southampton, but I feel it was placed well within the bulletin so to not regard it as the leading story because it was not localised. However it did give our audience a small aspect into the two major international stories of that week.

As this was our first time producing WINOL since being back after Easter break, it was clear that we were all still finding our feet still, so next week hopefully we will be more confident with our capabilities ready for our guest editor Geoff Hill – Executive News Editor of CNN UK.
