Tour of ITV News Studios

Before half term, we were lucky enough to take four students to the ITV News open newsroom, as part of their A-level Media Studies.

The day was a fantastic opportunity for students to see first-hand how the news is made and what it entails. They also got to meet many producers, editors and presenters.

The day consisted of a tour seeing the ITV newsroom, the studio, editing suites, master control rooms and technical trucks. The students were able to have a go at presenting the weather in the studio with the current ITV weather presenter, Sally Williams and a debrief of the lunchtime news with the presenter Nina Hossain. The day also included workshops about news, social media, a tour of the Channel 4 studio and they even got to meet Jon Snow.

Finally they met with the Head of ITV output and the producer for a question and answer session, along with HR who advised students about work experience opportunities and internships.

The students had an incredible and invaluable fun filled day fuelled with information and advice.
