Rewards 2018-19

Global will be offering one student a 1-week work experience placement, covering the different departments within this successful commercial radio station. The student will gain an understanding of how the station functions through working on a range of live projects.

Case Study

Previously, Jayna Rana, Centre of Journalism, won a two-week work experience placement with Global Radio, through the EP Scheme.

During this two-week period, Jayna received the opportunity to see how a successful radio station operates, and given her interest in journalism, the reward was tailored to allow her to see how news is gathered and produced for radio.

Managing Director, Emma Liddiard, commented:

We really enjoyed having Jayna with us. Having identified that she was interested in journalism, we gave her lots of experience in the news department and she worked closely with Zora Suleman who was able to work with her on both Kent news and national stories. We even sent her out as our reporter to a great evening do at Dreamland – tough job!
