Want to know what it takes to be a football reporter? How to ask the killer question? How to scoop a big transfer story? How to shoot and edit your interviews? How to build your contacts and break into sport broadcast in the first place? And what that landscape might look like 5 years from now?
On Thursday June 3rd RTS Cymru Wales hosts an online panel discussion titled “The Evolution of the Football Reporter”.
A selection of Wales’ leading football reporters come together to discuss, debate and deconstruct the role of the football reporter and to give you an insight into an average day in their lives, from pre match press conference to full time whistle and beyond - whether that’s for the Sky Sports Soccer Saturday show (Abi Davies and Bryn Law) or S4C’s Sgorio programme (Sioned Dafydd Rowlands), BBC Final Score (Laura Kenyon and Marc Webber) or BBC Sport Wales coverage on Radio Wales (Ian Hunt) and Radio Cymru (Owain Llyr), or live on air for BBC 5 Live Sport (Naz Premji).
The panels, one in English at 2pm, and one in Welsh at 4pm will be hosted by Steff Garrero (award winning sports producer and BBC broadcaster) and Nic Parry (S4C’s lead football commentator)
The discussion forms part of Expo’r Wal Goch (The Red Wall Expo) a four day online festival offering a stage to explore Welsh football’s social, cultural and political impact.
