Did you always want to be a festival reporter? Thanks to a collaboration with REC Radiocentrum, Gent Jazz Festival offers the possibility to some 10 youngsters over 18 to get to know the tricks of the trade. Backstage, frontstage and upstage.

How does it work? You get a single workshop for one day on Wednesday July second, in which you learn how to make a test report. From Thursday up and till 13 July, you will be switching between the stage and the nerve centre of the festival’s redaction on the actual site of Gent Jazz! The REC will learn you how to translate into sound, how to make interviews, how to edit, how to make interviews quicker and even how to edit better. The result will appear in a daily podcast on the website.
