    • As an educator, we have gone to series of seminar and workshops on journalism and news casting is one of those topics we underwent. News casting is like a news writing. You have to observe the basic questions on presenting the news. You have to take cognizance of the what, the who, the where, the when, the why, and the how of the event to cover for reporting. In news casting, time is so limited unlike news writing. The people usually hear the news on radio news casting.

      The next is the familiarization of the equipment or gadgets to be used in news casting. Primarily, writing of the script is the basic step on the said medium of delivering the news. The microphone, the console to operate, the background music and the commercial that sponsors the news spot. It takes several days or weeks to undergo the training. I have been a news stringer in our place. I did some news reporting directly from my place of assignment. It pays to that thing for I was doing it for free.

    • Being a radio presenter is not an easy job just like any other. There is no job that is easy in this world, all jobs have their own challenges, if you have the focus to do whatever you want you can do it no matter what people say or do. I have never desired to be a radio or tv presenter because I know the hard work that is involved is a lot and it needs a lot of patience. It am a needs someone who has a good common of English or some other language. I heard one radio presenter talk about her experience in the radio broadcasting, she says it was never easy especially if your a lady. There is so much pressure you will find men especially putting the woman down, and they would say things like you don’t fit this job, or your voice is not right those sorts of comments, so if your weak it’s easy for you to quit your job thinking that your not good enough. But the above points can definitely work.
