Get ready for the Joburg radio days
JOBURG - Wits University's Radio academy will host one of the continent's major industry conferences next month.
The Wits Radio Academy of the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) will host the fifth edition of its Joburg Radio Days from 2 to 4 July.
The event is aimed at everybody with an interest in radio – from station manager to junior producer – from around the world and takes participants to the cutting edge of ideas, concepts and new trends.
The academy began running the conference because they believe radio matters on this continent, and that radio people need an opportunity to hear the best and latest ideas, and to talk about the issues they share.
Topics for 2014 include radio’s new music listening frontiers, programmers’ guide to the brave new world of digital audio broadcasting (DAB+), youth listening trends, covering the big story from Mandela to Pistorius, speed dating the radio stars, 20 years of public broadcasting, radio comedy, the podcasters and many others.
The event will cost R3 500 for the full conference including coffees, lunches and welcome event. It is R1 500 for a single day entry.
