Network Ten's Sydney news director, David Breen, is making a hurried visit by helicopter to Charles Sturt University (CSU) Bathurst Campus next Tuesday (4 April) to announce a special opportunity to broadcast journalism students. Kay Nankervis, Associate Lecturer in Journalism in the School of Communication, says Mr Breen will unveil a "competition which is exclusive to our students. He wants ten of our students to visit his news room this year. He will pick the person who performs best over a week and give them six weeks paid work experience at the end of the year." Mr Breen will address those third year journalism students majoring in broadcast, telling them what to expect when they walk into a newsroom fresh from university. Ms Nankervis says it is invaluable information for the would-be journalists. "They learn exactly what news directors are looking for. They get to hear from a person who's working in the industry, who's a hirer and firer. They get to find out what the directors don't like about young journalists, and what they do like about them." The visit is the first in a series of lectures to Communications students from media professionals, including Mark Llewellen, head of news at Channel Nine, and Heather May, ABC’s cadetship co-ordinator.
