RMIT University Australia has collaborated with Channel31 to air the news in 60 seconds of the final year students pursuing Bachelor’s of communication (Journalism) at RMIT University. As a part of their final year project, students are required to write, and film sixty-second news bulletins every day. Different teams of students at RMIT university will produce this news bulletin every day as a part of their assessment. It is going to be the first time that the news scripted or filmed by students is going to be live on free-to-air TV to a Victorian Audience and to more than 1 million youtube viewers. The aim of this project is to recreate a real-life newsroom with students producing and filming the news bulletin in less than one day. Phil Kafacaloudes, a lecturer and a journalist who has 26 years of experience in journalism, is going to lead this project at RMIT University. Kafcaloudes said this process is complicated because it requires a broad range of skills.“This project encompasses everything: its performance, news, writing, editing, and being able to work in the studio really well with someone else. But in the end, it’s worth it. It’s a minute of TV time that might get played four or five times,”.
