📺 Media Training with Ciaran Mullooly MEP – December 13-14, 2024
Ever wondered how journalists conduct TV interviews? Former RTÉ correspondent Ciaran Mullooly led this workshop, teaching participants how to prepare for interviews, ask the right questions, and avoid common mistakes. It was a great opportunity to understand media communication from an insider’s perspective.
Each of these workshops was a unique learning experience for anyone interested in media and filmmaking. They were free of charge and conducted in English.
