Presenters have to be capable of expressing clearly and thoroughly the radio or the program format following the guidelines given by the producer and be free to use their own creativity and capabilities to improve without forgetting the basic concepts.
Apart from knowing how to use their voice and establish a positive relation with the audience, presenters should be able to control the length of every contribution, moving from one subject to another and developing good coordination with their colleagues.
An important feature for a disc jockey lies in his ability to summarize on the one hand, and, on the other, communicate strongly. We will show you some practical examples of this.

Modern technologies make information available everywhere and at every moment. Every single production and broadcast activity, and the control of information can be executed out by using a simple portable computer, no matter where so long as an Internet connection is available.
From a practical point of view, the editorial staff should be able to work both on a traditional basis and to organize and search all web sites containing any kind of information. Computers treat audio and texts (including a simple multi-trace editing) and it is necessary to pay great attention to many other technical and artistic aspects during the layout and the “closing” of a news program.
Practical simulations will be carried out, by importing-exporting and sharing material with remote branches (of a single radio station, of a syndication or from newswires).

A producer is the one who coordinates all activities of disc jockeys, creative people and sound engineers both during the preparation of a programme/format and during the live broadcast. He is in charge of the features of the single program and of the entire radio station, and works together with the artistic director and the music programmer, in order to plan the clock structure, the music selection etc.
There will be an introduction to the subject, the simulation of a session in a production studio and the simulation or a live broadcast by using updated digital means.
