We had an action packed day at the BBC Young Reporter Event at Trades Hall in Glasgow π₯
We started off the day with a session about real or fake news with BBC Journalist Paul Brown. We looked at evidence, found names, locations and dates then looked around at other sources to whether a story was accurate.
We then heard from the author Brian Conaghan and heard all about his journey from being a painter and decorator, to teaching and then to writing his own novels. He also gave an exclusive reading of his new book ‘Treacle Town’ which is set in Coatbridge.
Next, we moved onto our making a live podcast session. We created scripts, recorded VoxPops and worked together to include music and transitions.
Finally we rounded off with an animations session followed by a Q&A from River City Executive Producer Martin and a Quiz!
