For the first time, the Melbourne Radio School is going to be running a number of short courses over summer. The first two have just been announced.

Creative Writing for Radio

– December 6 & 7 (10am-4pm both days).

In this intensive two-day workshop with award-winning radio copywriter, Ray Adams (FOX-FM, Triple M, MIX 101.1 and GOLD 104), students will discover that writing advertising copy for radio can be a spontaneous, entertaining, and richly rewarding career. They’ll be shown the tricks of the trade in learning how to write great radio ads.

Radio News Writing and Presenting – December 13 & 14 (10am-4pm both days)

Again, in an intensive two-day workshop with former Austereo Group News Director, John Williams, students will learn how to write and present radio news for contemporary radio formats. Along the way, they’ll learn about field reporting, interviewing for radio and how to find great news.

The cost of each course is $385 per person (inc. GST). For bookings and more information, visit http://www.melbourneradioschool.com or contact the Melbourne Radio School via email: [email protected].
