WINOL Review 9/11/11

Once again WINOL provided university students with professional level news. The presenters this week all spoke clearly and were proudly sporting Remembrance Day poppies on their lapels. There was a variety of interviews in this week’s broadcast, a highlight was the exclusive interview with Chris Huhne, which was of national news standard, highly informative, and generally an interesting addition to the story. I also thought it was clever how they chose to film the report on primary education, as they managed to avoid any legal issues by not filming children, only teachers.  
The one real let down this week was the ‘update’ on the on-going bin collection crisis as it failed to act as a productive update, simply reiterating information from last week’s bulletin. This made it appear to be more of a time-filler, rather than news. Another small issue with the report on the planned journey for the Olympic Torch was that the map image they used for the backdrop and illustration was out of focus. From a purely aesthetic viewpoint it may have been wiser to ensure that the image was clear. However overall this week was another impressive broadcast, exceeding the standard I would have ever expected to be produced by university students.
