Barney is completing a Bachelor of Media with a double major in Journalism and Screen and hails from Lismore on the North Coast. He left his gorgeous wife Chantel behind to come to Sydney to complete his professional placement at The Weather Channel. Barney proved he was worth his weight in gold one busy day when the Weather Channel was on location in Sydney. Pulling a 12 hour shift Barney was runner between the location crew and the studios and managed to cut 3 hours of film down into a score of clips and vision with a massive smile on his face the whole time. Barney is hoping to put this engaging smile to good use in the future when he hosts his own late night variety program..JPG)
Brendon Frawley is a huge Bon Jovi fan and printer by trade but keen to shift to a career in the media world so has enroled himself for a Cert 4 in Screen and Media at TAFE. Faced with the daunting task of learning the technical desk Brendon has picked up the tricks of directing very quickly. Switching his first record withing days and entrusted with a LIVE TO AIR report in the first two weeks, Brendon has developed a real interest in the technical aspects of broadcast television and plans to expand his knowledge to producing so he can be a real all rounder in the media world. One of his favourite moments at the channel was being involved in The Weather Channel's Guiness World Record - The Big Report.
Nathan Hughes also joined us as an intern but impressed management so much in the first few days with his can-do attitude and rapid fire editing he was quickly snapped up for a 3 month contract role when a full time production assistant required a stretch of convalescent leave after an accident. Nathan originally started working in IT hence his great computer skills. A degree in Computer Science majoring in Games Technology sounded like fun but working 8 hours a day in front of a computer with no human contact was a little too much for the self-confessed knowledge junkie and he went back to school to learn radio broadcasting and journalism. Nathan is soaking in everything he can and loving communicating and connecting with our nationwide Weather Channel audience.
Interns provide a much needed extra pair of hands in a busy news environment and get some real hands-on experience in their chosen field. It’s a great way to make contacts in the business and more often then not, on completion of their studies, the interns pick up a highly sought after job within the network. This year’s crop of interns have displayed all the enthusiasm and keenness to learn that impresses management in the highly competitive world of television and it’s these attributes that will take them far in the industry.
