SeanSean Strange is a third year student at the Lincoln School of Media.  He found time in the run up to his finals to capture the LSM’s Radio, Sound & Music Symposium II at the start of this month.  See Sean’s images in the slideshow, below. Thanks, Sean!  Another piece to add to your growing portfolio of work perhaps?  Please do keep us posted on how you’re doing when you graduate.

Update: Radio, Sound & Music Symposium II

Posted on by

The sun shone today at LSM’s Radio, Sound & Music Symposium II.  Radio experts, creatives and music specialists, including a panel of our graduates working in the industry gave valuable insider knowledge to students.  Having worked in local radio, both ILR and BBC, albeit a while back (before I joined ITV factual) the advice still rang true:  Come up with ideas and say how you’d produce it. Contact people you like to listen to or you fancy a job they’re doing. Look at the range of jobs (not just presentation and news) and target indies, as well as the main industry players.  Don’t turn down freelance work because there’ll be someone else to do it.  Happy days!

Last week I was interviewed as an expert on talkSPORT’s overnight show regarding F1. It was quite a lucky set of circumstances that put me in the situation, but it was a fantastic experience!

From the festival organisers: “Lincoln Inspired was ‘born’ in March 2012 when a group of like-minded souls who had worked on arts events in and around the city got together in a pub on the Brayford and shared their visions for a great new festival. Well this is it then. We’re ready to launch. We’ve created a festival, a full programme, one that has something for everyone!” Download the programme from the Festval website.

As soon as I graduated in 2011 with a BA (Hons) in Media Production I applied for a Master in Historical Studies at the University of Lincoln. I have always been passionate about History and it is my dream job to produce Historical documentaries. By doing this course I have been able to develop my skills which will be important for creating documentaries and other historical products. Since graduating I have gained experience working with the BBC on their BBC 2 show Flog It! This has provided me with valuable experience and has presented possible networking opportunities for when I finish my Masters course.
