Bad news for some in the mojo world. Many mics need this cable to work with iPhones. Appleโs adapter is reliable when 3rd party ones arenโt.
I did some training last year and everything worked for one guy except the dodgy non-Apple white cable - so *nothing* worked.

For the frankly bewildering number of new followers, hereโs the kind of thing I bang on about as part of my job.
Notice the rapidly flashing lights here? Look top left - they flash at 30 & 60 frames per second but not 25fps.
Using the right fps leads to better video. (Shutter speed comes into itโฆ)
Text-heavy and colorful infographic titled BREAKING NEWS CHECKLIST with 6 tips on "What to do when information is scarce, falsehoods are rampant and the story is still unfolding" 1 Mind the gap: Keep in mind that thereโs often a gap between what the public wants to know and the verified information available. Unconfirmed or completely bogus content often rushes in to fill that gap. 2 Beware bad actors: Remember that bad actors often capitalize on breaking news situations to spread falsehoods for easy likes and shares. 3 Do a quick search: This is often your best defense against misinformation. 4 Look for evidence: Claims that make bold assertions but provide no links or other evidence should always be approached with caution. 5 Seek credible sources: Be intentional about looking for credible news and not relying on social media algorithms to bring you updates. 6 Practice patience: Quality journalism and verification take time. Be ready to follow news developments over time.
As a reminder during this hectic news cycle:
1 - Read past the headline
2 - Check the source
3 - Pause before sharing

Tip for radio producers: if you're not making full use of iPhone wide spectrum audio - why not!?
It's the best way to hear background atmosphere if a guest is on location, without the need for fancy kit. (example below)
Congratulations to the University of Leeds students Olivia Davies and Emma Jackson, who were part of the broadcast. It's great to see theirs and other students' hard work, being rewarded in this way.
Journalists - make clippings of everything you do every week.
I'm trying to find some of my old radio broadcasts and it's incredible how short-lived stuff is on the internet. Data protection policy means emails are auto-deleted; links are broken or the audio is no longer online to save storage.
Iโm so proud of BJTC journalism students who have won a silver award at the Community Radio Awards for their own networked UK election night programme.
