The Rules of the TV Journalism Class (according to the University of Lincoln)

September 27th, 2007 by Dave Leave a reply »

1. No eating

2. No swearing

3. No drinking

4. No sexism

5. No ageism

6. Workshop begins at 9:30am. If you’re a minute late, you miss out.

7. Playtime is 15 minutes, and when the teacher says stop, you need to pack up your toys straight away.

Yes, I know most of these are fair enough — we should never be sexist or whatever — but the draconian way these rules were enforced on third year TV students this morning was a joke. Find me a TV newsroom where people don’t swear and I’ll tell you they’re not working hard enough.
