What makes a great newsreader?

Apr 19, 2023, 05:00 AM

Inspired by Josh Tate becoming the UK’s youngest newsreader at 16, we wanted to find out what skills, experience and knowledge are required for the job. 

This week, Laura catches up with Josh to see what’s happened since his first on-air bulletin. She then sits down with three people in charge of radio news to discuss being a newsreader. 

Laura’s joined by Lorraine Herbison (Head of News and Sport for Bauer Media in Scotland), Paul Nero (MD and controlling stakeholder of Devon’s Radio Exe) and Toby Sealey (Head of News at News UK Broadcasting). 

A must-listen for anyone wanting to work or progress as a newsreader.
