Participants with course instructor, Marc de Temple
For the third time, Beijing’s Tsinghua University and the Thomson Reuters Foundation have partnered to produce a workshop for television journalists.
“Making TV News” brought together 17 Chinese broadcast journalists for a week-long course on television reporting techniques. Top tips on story structure and picture editing were shared by Reuters Television tutors with the workshop participants, combining practical exercises with theoretical discussion and coverage around Beijing.
The course was one of four workshops organised in Beijing by the foundation for 2009, on a variety of reporting topics. The partnership with Tsinghua began in 2005 – the year the first TV workshop was held in Beijing. A second TV workshop was held in 2006 and altogether 14 joint courses were chalked up by the partners by the end of 2008. Workshops have ranged from environmental, health or international reporting, to business news, disaster coverage and sports reporting.
