TY Media Week Programme.

I signed up for the TY Media Week because I thought it was similar to a  music tech course but it turned out to be better. I would maybe like to work here at some point. The most interesting part was going around the streets interviewing because we got to meet  new people. I would recommend this programme to other TY students because it was fun and you learn a lot.  

I once believed that radio was a dying medium, but now I can see how it is still very much active, and there is a lot of interest in radio with young people. I thoroughly enjoyed recording in the studio and seeing how the audio is edited on Adobe Audition.  

I didn’t realise all the different jobs that go into radio and how all the different aspects of media are connected so tightly, such as radio, tv and social media. I signed up for the TY Media Week as I was really interested to know how a radio station operates. It was really interesting and enjoyable and I think it was a really valuable TY experience.  

I was really interested in sports journalism and wanted to come in and see what went on behind the scenes. I got to know all the people and how it goes from research to being broadcast. The most interesting part of the programme was working on our story about the new rules and interviewing people. It was really fun.  

I signed up for the TY Media Week because my mum used to be involved in radio. We always listen to radio in the car. It made me really want to sign up for the programme. It changed my view of information in the media as I know how information sources are checked for their authenticity. I appreciate radio way more now.

My perception of the media at first was that I thought it was just video and camera work. After completing the programme I can see it involves content creation and audience engagement. It’s nice to see the effort that goes into the radio. I would recommend the programme to TY students as you get in-depth experience, and you get to see the work that goes on the radio. It builds your confidence, and you can make friends as well.   

I didn’t understand how the programmes were organised and carried out. I thought songs were chosen at random and presenters talk about whatever they want. I now understand the planning and work that goes into a radio show. The most interesting part was editing and creating my own package. I think this course covered everything and was very helpful. I learned a lot about radio and media production.  

I signed up to get a better understanding of how a radio stations works. I also wanted to see how a radio station works and the behind the scenes. I learned how there is so much more involved in producing a radio show and so much is pre recorded. I would definitely recommend it as I learned so much and I enjoyed it!

I signed up for the TY Media Week because I am interested in knowing how radio works and what goes on behind the scenes. I learned there is so much that goes on behind the scenes, but it's also a really enjoyable experience. The most interesting part was seeing how the studio works and actually talking on the radio. I would highly recommend this programme, it's so interesting and I would love to do more programmes on radio and media.   

I was really interested in learning about the world of radio and media. It has always been a big part of my life, and I really wanted to see how it works. It’s a lot more chill and relaxing than I expected. The presenters are really nice and real.    

There are so many options for everyone in this line of work. You most definitely are not limited. Not only will you learn different aspects of radio, but you will also learn to make new friends, build your confidence, voice your personal opinion and make your own show.

Before I thought of media as a way for people to gain news and entertainments value. However, Clare FM is so much more than that. It publishes unheard stories and makes local situations known, which creates change for the better!

I’d love to do more presenting and recording. It was unreal, very fun & educational. Kayte O’Malley was a great co-ordinator. Every employee was so welcoming! You made my week unforgettable! Can't believe it's over, I really enjoyed it, and I'll miss it so much. Thanks to you and all the team at GalwayBayFM I think I might genuinely pursue radio presenting as a career! Thanks again, you legend!

Yes, definitely. Everyone was so nice and we learnt so much about behind the scenes in radio and got a chance to see every factor that goes into radio and making a show. Valerie was such a good co-ordinator! Thank you, Valerie.

I've always had an interest in sports journalism. After my experience on the TY Media Week programme here in iRadio, I would love to pursue a career in radio after the leaving cert. It's my dream job.

I came into the programme quite nervous. I am a shy person naturally. Throughout the week I have come out of my box, I feel like I’ve made friends for life. I started off the week being scared in front of the microphone, now I feel much more confident.

I signed up for the TY Media Week Programme because broadcasting I am interested in journalism and media. The most interesting part of the programme was learning how the controls on the recording system works. I also enjoyed learning all the techniques of radio presenting. I would recommend this programme to other TY students. Being in a working environment surrounded by radio stars and learning all the tips and tricks associated with media was so beneficial and interesting.

Jess Kelly is a very passionate and kind leader. I learnt a lot from her. 

I signed up to this programe because it would help me learn about different career paths and opportunities. I have always been interested in radio and have been listening since I was young. I really enjoyed going out in Grafton Street to interview people for a vox-pop. I would recommend this programme to other Transition Year students as it was a very interesting experience. I met lots of lovely people. The group leader, Jess Kelly, was very welcoming and helpful. 

I would absolutely recommend the programme to other Transition Year students as it gives you a chance to make a radio show. It gives you a good insight into the medium of radio. The most interesting part of the programme for me was writing and recording my own segment for our show.
