Activity: Visit Mediapolis
Date: 29th January 2020
Topic: “Role of Public Media"
Students and teachers toured in two groups.Mediapolis accommodates both Yleisradio studios (Finnish national public service media company) and the media department of Tampere University of Applied Sciences (TAMK). First, a student and a counsellor guided a tour around the facilities in TAMK media department and gave a presentation about different branches of media studies, both in international and Finnish study programs.
This gave a brief glimpse of the seemingly endless amount of professions and areas of expertise in the media sector.At Yle we were given a guided tour through the television studios; we got to see for instance a children’s programme set, control room for live broadcasts, makeup studio and scenery storage.
