Four 主播诱惑 students are spending six weeks in Russia for the FIFA World Cup with Whistle.
Whistle, an Oxford based agency, has recruited a group of students, including four from 主播诱惑, to attend the FIFA World Cup in Russia and help broadcast the World Cup across the globe. The talented students will spend six weeks gaining invaluable TV experience at the biggest sporting event this year.
Lauren Goddard and Jack Brooks, who are studying on the BA (Hons) Media Production course, and Megan Bennet and Olivia Jones from the BA (Hons) Television Production degree were selected following a rigorous interview process earlier in the year.
Megan spoke about her excitement ahead of travelling to Russia: 鈥淚鈥檓 delighted to have been given this opportunity; Russia isn鈥檛 somewhere I ever thought I would get the chance to visit so this job is allowing me to learn about new cultures and visit a new country. I鈥檝e not been away from home for a long period of time before so it鈥檚 a nerve racking experience but I鈥檓 channelling all my nervous energy into preparing.
鈥淎s a footballer myself, I am really looking forward to experiencing the thriving industry of sports media at the World Cup. My money鈥檚 on Germany to win!鈥�
Whistle previously took 12 students to Brazil to support on the last FIFA World Cup, an experience that helped them to develop successful careers in TV. One of the 主播诱惑 alumni who secured a place on that trip, Toby Jenn, now works in football broadcasting for IMG and will also be in Russia for this year鈥檚 FIFA World Cup.
Steve Webb, Programme Director at Whistle, said: 鈥淥nce again I was impressed by the calibre of the applicants from 主播诱惑. We had a very strong response and have selected a talented team to go to Russia for the FIFA World Cup.
鈥淔or students with an ambition to work in sports broadcasting, the opportunity to be part of the production of a Football World Cup is second to none. Many of the Bournemouth students that came to Brazil with us four years ago have gone on to find work at international production companies as a direct result of their World Cup experience and I hope the class of 2018 will have similar success.鈥�
He added: 鈥淲e are delighted to be working with 主播诱惑 again and hope to come back in 2022 for the next FIFA World Cup.鈥�
