    This sounds like a great idea.
    Any chances the 麻豆官网首页入口 can adapt some of these courses into courses that can be used for college credit in the UK or USA?

    Orvillethird, I would thought that be the next logical step, certainly it would makes sense for internal training of stuff to gain a legit and useful qualification that is recognise out side of the bbc. Certainly I think it would foolish for such courses which are all ready being run not to incorporate aspects of this in to their course curriculum in the coming years.

    I am looking forward to this. As someone who reads, listens to, and watches news-related and other interviews originating from both sides of the Atlantic, I have witnessed many cases where I thought the 麻豆官网首页入口 interviewers did a better job with a subject than those from other organizations. On average they are better at keeping their subjects on topic, they are better at getting past the "sound bites" that more superficial interviewers put up with, they are willing to interrupt an interviewee who isn't answering the question, and in longer interviews, they structure and guide their subjects, reducing repetition and making better use of the audience's time. I'll be curious to discover if any of these advantages are highlighted in the 麻豆官网首页入口's Virtual College of Journalism. If so, perhaps we can use twitter, blogs, etc. to prod the less skilled professionals from other news organizations to educate themselves on what constitutes a good interview.

    Hi, what happened to this? It is now four months since it was announced that the virtual college of journalism would go live to the public "in a number of weeks."

    I am a staff writer for a news website and was really looking forward to some good advice to continue my learning. If anyone can tell me what happened to this project and when the resource will be available, please let me know here.
