DemonFM’s contribution to the DMU Square Mile project is a Community Radio Reporters Club. Heading up the Reporters Club for DemonFM is James Black and Ingrid Grenar, who will be planning our shows and running sessions with budding community reporters from the Square Mile area. We spent the day in the labs and studios of the Faculty of Technology where DemonFM is based in the Queens Building, looking at how we can post content to the DemonFM website, what type of audio editing software we will be using, and what audio recording equipment we’ll be using to capture interviews and events.
James is new to radio, but has produced community news for Citizen’s Eye in the past, and Ingrid is a regular contributor to FD2D magazine and website. Ingrid produces the weekly Culture Vulture show on DemonFM, which goes out at 12pm every Saturday. James sat in and helped with today’s show, just to see how it’s done and how to use the broadcast studio. Which will be invaluable experience when it comes to running a weekly Square Mile Show each Sunday on DemonFM.
Next week Ingrid and James are planning how they will be reporting from the The Square Mile Community Christmas, which is taking place on Saturday 10th December, 11-3pm in Fosse Community Centre (Mantle Road.) If anyone fancies trying their hand as a radio reporter, Ingrid and James will be on hand at the event to talk about how the club will work and what type of material the show will cover. Stop by and have a chat and find out how you might get involved.
