Radio reporting requires serious fieldwork/using veterans – Mehr News Agency | Iran and world’s news
Abbas Senjari, a veteran radio reporter, told Mehr reporter about what policies can be adopted to promote documentaries on the radio: When someone who has been working in various radio fields for years can be successful. A reporter can also be a producer, a writer, and edit the program.
He continued: Report work can have a special feature for documentaries and it is very important if it is taught to young people. Sometimes I have seen a person who teaches reporting as a professor has not done any reporting himself, he has only read books, and you know, he has not done what a documentary maker has actually accomplished.
Referring to the use of veterans, Sanjeri said: I think that by using veterans, the promotion of documentaries on the radio can be improved day by day.
This reporter clarified: When you want to make a documentary work, you have to go to different places, talk to different people, go from the north of the city to the south of the city in order to make a good report. For example, I once prepared a report that discussed books and reading in a nursing home. Well, I went to several sanatoriums and spent maybe hours, days, weeks to make a documentary report of books and reading.
He added: If someone is going to work in the field of documentary production, he should be given more facilities, encouraged to prepare a very good documentary structure. He should go to the middle of the field and present what he can do in a good tone. Unfortunately, many of our young colleagues sit in the room and don’t even bother to go to the street and various places and institutions to prepare a documentary report.
In the end, this reporter said about the effect of festivals on synergy and increasing convergence between managers, programmers and audiences: the one who prepares a program on the radio, he becomes the showcase of the same radio. When you report from different dimensions, this is very important. It can be important for both managers and programmers, and the audience will hear and enjoy a good program.
