It was a wonderful event and some great #journalism on show, testament of the hard work students and lecturers put in every year. We'll be seeing many of the students there last night driving our industry forward in years to come.

Our fantastic UEA journalism students have secured four nominations in the national BJTC awards.
And in top categories across the multimedia range. We’ve only been going four years, and one of the smallest courses up against all the big guns.

Bad news for some in the mojo world. Many mics need this cable to work with iPhones. Apple’s adapter is reliable when 3rd party ones aren’t.
I did some training last year and everything worked for one guy except the dodgy non-Apple white cable - so *nothing* worked.

For the frankly bewildering number of new followers, here’s the kind of thing I bang on about as part of my job.
Notice the rapidly flashing lights here? Look top left - they flash at 30 & 60 frames per second but not 25fps.
Using the right fps leads to better video. (Shutter speed comes into it…)

As a reminder during this hectic news cycle:

1 - Read past the headline
2 - Check the source
3 - Pause before sharing

More tips for consuming breaking news 👇🏾

#NewsLiteracy
Text-heavy and colorful infographic titled BREAKING NEWS CHECKLIST with 6 tips on "What to do when information is scarce, falsehoods are rampant and the story is still unfolding" 1 Mind the gap: Keep in mind that there’s often a gap between what the public wants to know and the verified information available. Unconfirmed or completely bogus content often rushes in to fill that gap. 2 Beware bad actors: Remember that bad actors often capitalize on breaking news situations to spread falsehoods for easy likes and shares. 3 Do a quick search: This is often your best defense against misinformation. 4 Look for evidence: Claims that make bold assertions but provide no links or other evidence should always be approached with caution. 5 Seek credible sources: Be intentional about looking for credible news and not relying on social media algorithms to bring you updates. 6 Practice patience: Quality journalism and verification take time. Be ready to follow news developments over time.
