'Buzz.ac.uk'; the online way to access newsAs a general reporter, aiming to improve on the ability to source original news, a number of news reporters went to Poole, in search of news stories.
At the centre of Poole's entertainment and arts culture, is Poole Lighthouse Centre.
On arriving at the centre, an exhibition was set up, in which photographs of struggling Africa were displayed, as part of a campaign to combat poverty and hunger in Africa.
Talking to the receptionist's also uncovered that the centre had recently introduced a scheme whereby young people can attend certain shows for free, in a bid to keep young people interested in theatre and the arts.
Going to Poole, certainly enabled, us as reporters to gain confidence in souring original news stories and enabled us to produce an array of original news stories for the Buzz website.
On returning to the newsroom, reporters followed up their stories by making phone calls and acquiring phone interviews with key people. Thus, providing audio to the news stories.
As there are not set news bulletins in which to work towards, again, reporters have the responsibility of providing a constant flow of news throughout the day.
Buzz should have the top stories of the day uploaded as soon as possible and following stories should be uploaded throughout the day, accompanied by audio and images.
Communicating with the radio and television newsrooms, a sufficient amount of audio and video footage should be available to the news team and the process of convergence is thus a success.

- African art exhibition to combat poverty and hunger
