Day 3

Logged Hours: 8.30am to 6.30pm (10 HOURS)

SUMMARY:

Today was filled with field work. I was required to pick up audio and conduct interviews for the sports reporter. The first story consisted of an Indigenous Titan's Program. I was required to conduct the interview, focusing on a local angle to the story. Next, I was required to conduct an interview for the Melbourne News Crew, regarding the changing of AFL rules. Overall, I focused on developing my interviewing techniques today. It was challenging to discuss topic's that I had no background information on, but I proved to be successful in seeking information about the subjects during the interviews.

LIVE CROSS SCRIPT:

Traffic came to a halt along the Gold Coast Highway at Palm Beach this afternoon due to a diesel spill.

A Council truck caused the southbound lanes to be blocked from 27th avenue.

Drivers attempted to bypass the hazard by driving along the footpath.

Energex was able to move the truck away from power lines as a precaution with firefighters attending the scene.

ENDS.
