I find this video very odd. Who’s it aimed at? Which audience is it serving? TV Forum?
It's on a personal Twitter account, it doesn't need to serve a particular audience.
You realise she’s employed by the BBC and made it for the BBC? Of course it matters who the audience is.
I’m not scrutinising the style - I understand that’s the ‘TikTok way’. I just struggle to believe a 16-year-old gives two-hoots about an OOV and it screams BBC naval-gazing.
I really doubt the BBC has suddenly decided that content creation by the means of TikTok is now part of a camera operators job. This is clearly not official BBC output and shouldn't be held to the same bar as anything that is. As long as something cannot be seen to contain bias or insider knowledge (or directly insult others) that shouldn't be public, individual BBC staff should be allowed to post what they want on social media.
It's Emma's personal account - she isn't doing this because the BBC is telling her to. She has quite a following on TikTok and "the youth" are interested.
And when talking about attracting and diversifying the next generation, I think we need people/characters on the platforms where those people are...(6/6)@BBCGetIn + @BBCYoungReporter - look at all the comments from people who are interested in schemes. pic.twitter.com/0s82J3w1sF
I think she does a very good job, as well as making the BBC less stuffy for the youngsters, it is well made, meets Reithian ideals, probably will also interest one or two to look as it as a future career path. Emma did an apprenticeship and why on earth shouldn't she do it, and I really hope approved of - it seems to be seeing the "cast".
Equally on social media the Steve Rosenberg piano pieces are not the job of a Moscow correspondent. But are they right or wrong - and they include a news endcap.. right in my view.
Another supporter here of what Emma (and Sophie) are doing. It's engaging, often fun and opens up the world of broadcasting that we rarely see. Their enthusiasm for the job they're doing is evident.
I'd have loved the equivalent in the 90s when I was thinking about working in the industry (as well the obvious fascination I had anyway of how it all worked 'behind the scenes').
The only reason I have TikTok is to subscribe to Emma and Sophie's videos, as well as getting young people interested in news gathering and camerawork, it's great for those of us old enough to not instantly use these platforms to get involved.
Does BBC World News currently broadcast The Papers at 22:30 & 23:30 (BST)?
Lately following the 10 O'Clock News the presenter has welcomed "viewers in the UK joining viewers around the world" before The Papers titles play, which suggests 22:30 airing is broadcast on BBC World News. Looking at World News now, they opt-out of the second airing.
I believe its the gallery on the previous hour that broadcasts the countdown and then the studio opts in to the output dead of 2200 so that no countdown is shown on BBC 1 if it mistakingly opts in too soon. You can tell the output switches over galleries by the sudden end to the countdown and silence into studio shot with no background sound from the countdown.
I notice it when Studio E (end of 4pm hour) plays out the countdown and then Studio C opts in at the end of the countdown but quite noticeably cuts off the last tune in the countdown.
