    WORKING ANALYSIS AT PRESTIGE FM RADIO, BOSSO


    LOWCOST MINNA, NIGER STATE

    Experience is the best teacher in life because, the experience I had


    during my two months SIWES programme at Prestige Fm Radio, cannot
    be over emphasized with the classroom teaching. My experience with
    the station has made me realize that practical is very important when
    combine with theory.

    Also in the news and current affairs department I was assigned to go on

    a special report on the hike in the price of transportation during the

    Christmas festive celebration which I did interview some people and it

    was air some days to Christmas. During my two (2) month of SIWES, I

    was attached to News department production department, and

    Programme department. In the production department I recorded

    different staffs, colleague and edited it using adobe 1.5 software’s in

    the computer system and the program went on Air the same day. I was

    also given an assignment on an inspiration program title “Relationship”

    during my SIWES Training.

    SECTION FOUR

    Summary

    I was able to learn a lot about broadcasting, how to source for news, write news
    story, edit and search for special topic for report, bulletins, identify how the role
    and job of a journalist looks like.

    I was exposed to preparing of news items, press release from information gathered
    in the council and many more. My training was such a wonderful one and couple
    with the fact that I was posted to news and current affairs department and other
    department in the radio studio and it added knowledge to me to be creative, bold,
    when conducting vox pop and various interview I was able to speak fluently.

    Conclusion
    The three month Industrial Training with Prestige FM 91.7 MHZ MX Was a
    tremendous success and at the same time a great place of acquisition of
    knowledge and skills relevant to mass communication study Through my
    training, I was able to appreciate my choice of course of study even more.
    My training has given me a broader view to the importance and relevance of
    mass communication to the general public and the world at large.

    Recommendations
    I use the medium to make the following recommendations concerning the
    training of students in industrial attachment:

    1. Early and multiple supervision: The supervisors assigned should


    endeavor to visit their students in the earlier stage of the SIWES
    program and also multiple times. This will install seriousness in the
    students.
    2. The training time frame of SIWES should be in creased from two months
    to three: This will give room for students to learn more in the media
    organization they are.
    3. Government should encourage the various establishments especially
    government own organization to give students undertaking SIWES in
    their establishment a take home pay to cater for the expense account in
    the course of training and also a way of touching the individual personal
    life.
