About This Course
When you’re watching the news on TV, have you ever wondered what’s going on behind the scenes?
Like, who decides the top story? How is that decision made? And when things appear to be going wrong on air, how do they keep the show moving?
These are all things I hope to answer in my course on TV programme editing.
My name is Jennifer Bragg and I’m a programme editor at Al Jazeera English.
Over the years I have developed my own system for building a show, preparing for the best AND worst case scenarios, and mastering the art of communicating, with multiple people, at the same time.
Everyone in this role finds their own working style, so you can use these lessons to inspire you.
