Former BBC news editor,Ian Anderson,visited the University of Winchester today,as part of an initiative to engage students with industry professionals.
"You have facilities which i could only have dreamt of," he said.
Having started at the Reading Evening Post,Mr Anderson went onto work for the press association,as a news sub-editor.A few year later,'I was recommended to the BBC by a friend,' said Mr Anderson. He told journalism students that,he spent the past 20years working for the BBC in various roles before leaving last year.
Asked about his most memorable moment at the BBC , Mr Anderson said:"producing news at Westminister,close to the end of the Thatcher era," and 'being on the first flight to New York after 9/11.'
The former news editor gave students some 'very valuable' advice on creating televison packages.This was after he took time to review recent packages produced by journalism students.His emphasis was more on the content of the packages,the storyboard and the general persona of a successful journalist.
'The move to invite Mr anderson by the course leader is essentially what we needed,' said one of the students on condition of anonymity.
