The intern will produce a radio program for their assignment describing extra-curricular opportunities for students at a local school. They will include an interview with a student. They must research other audio products and pitch their program idea to the radio station head. The intern will write a report evaluating the success of the project to determine if they are suitable for further assignments. The intern outlines the primary and secondary research they will conduct including creating questionnaires for teachers and students, researching school websites, compiling their research methods and data in tables, maintaining a research log, and producing examples of broadcast and non-broadcast audio formats.

1. EVALUATION - INTERNSHIP AT A RADIO STATION
I have won an internship at a local radio station. For my first assignment I have been asked
to produce a short radio programme describing the extra-curricular opportunities that are
available to young students in a local school. The head of the radio station is really
interested in hearing from young people in person and they want me to include an interview
with a young pupil in my programme.
Before I begin I need to research other audio products in order to make sure that I am
suitable to take on the project. The head of the radio station has asked me to prepare a
pitch explaining my idea before I start recording. I will then need to write a brief for my
project and record my material in a group before we begin editing our programmes
individually.
The head of the radio station would like me to write a report evaluating the success of my
project to help him decide if I am suitable for further assignments.
Before I start my research, it will contain primary and secondary research; first of all I will
create questionnaires, for both teachers and students regarding extra-curricular activities.
That way I will know how many people think the activities are useful and beneficial. I will get
the chance to hear what the teachers and students think of this subject. After I complete
this I will then start with researching activities on local schools’ website.
With the information I gather I will conduct a table of my research methods that will
contain my primary & secondary research also the advantages and disadvantages. That way
people will know which one they’d prefer doing, when I complete it I will then do a words
document work stating what primary and secondary research is. I will then add the
qualitative and quantitative data’s and complete another separate table for it.
I’ll commence a research log for all of the information I gathered and display them in a table
and include the hyperlink and proof of where I obtained the activities from and also add the
list of activities and opportunities the students get and make sure that I list whether it’s
useful or not.
For my research methods I will add the pros and cons and state what type of data I use, I’ll
also add my research methods (internet search, library search, survey, focus groups,
questionnaires, interviews etc.). On Microsoft words I will produce eight types of broadcast
and two non-broadcast products and an audio formats table for my PowerPoint slide. For
the rest of the work i will finish the rest of my questionnaires in time for my radio broadcast
programme.
