1.Tim would like you to listen to the Today programme between 7.30 and 8am on Monday morning. As before, make a note of everyone who speaks and identify which radio device is being used: live interview, recorded interview, package and so on. Tim will deconstruct why it was put together the way you hear that morning. As before, this exercise will only work if you have listened to that half hour of the programme.

2.He will also look at how to set up interviews, book in guests and do briefing sheets for the presenter.

Out -  Fashion is made to become unfashionable

On Friday 22 May, first year students from the Centre for Journalism produced a live 15-minute news bulletin for a visiting Broadcast Journalism Training Council panel. The bulletin went out at 1pm.

Alan McGuinness and Kelsey Williams (in strict alphabetical order) will be joint editors of next week's radio news bulletin that will help to showcase the centre's work for the Broadcast Journalism Training Council.

They will be deciding on other key roles for the team, which we've every confidence will work together to produce a professional and compelling radio news programme.

And of course if anything goes wrong, the pair will be brought back into the boardroom and one of them will be fired by Sir Alan.
