Talk by Steven Decraene
What happens behind the scenes when a journalist reports live from a natural disaster, terrorist attack, election campaign or another major news event? How do you prepare for the unexpected, work against the clock and tell a compelling story when not all the answers are available yet?
VRT journalist Steven Decraene takes you into the world of live reporting. Through fascinating stories and first-hand experiences from his career in the field, you'll discover what it really takes to report from the heart of the action.
- Why do television newsrooms send reporters into the field?
- How do you prepare for an assignment?
- What practical challenges arise when a deadline is fast approaching?
- What should you do, and above all avoid doing, in a conflict or disaster zone?
An engaging behind-the-scenes look at the life of a journalist, where speed, pressure, preparation and improvisation go hand in hand.
