How to do audio when your sports guys are out and about
Great example of how to produce a quick piece of multimedia on a big breaking sports story - when all your sports editors/writers are out and about.
The MEN cover two of the biggest football clubs in the world, and when Carlos Tevez threw his dummy out about coming on (or not coming on) as a sub last night in the Champions League it had the back pages secured.
Paul Handler did a great job of getting his sports editor on the phone for a quick chat, and recording it on his Nokia N8, editing it down and adding some photos over the top for a quick audio slideshow win.
The quality is good, and Pete Spencer is an engaging personality who makes his views on Tevez clear. Now you've got something alongside the main story and fan comments, and to go onto YouTube.
Update: Suggestion from Andy Jackson - all things digital at the Huddersfiled Examiner - of using Rectel to record phone calls. Despite sound more like a cure you'd get from the pharmacy, it's actually a handy website which allows you to record phone calls to your computer.
