Radio is rightfully considered the most efficient mass media. In terms of the speed of information transfer, it is second, perhaps, only to the Internet. Radio waves freely penetrate anywhere in the world, and with them - the news so necessary for a modern person. Anyone who is interested can get to the place where radio broadcasts are made.

Instructions
Step 1
Formulate the reason why you would like to get into the radio editorial office. Maybe you want to organize an excursion for pupils or students. It is possible that you work well with sound and would not mind trying yourself as a sound engineer or sound engineer.
Step 2
Listen to several radio programs on different wavelengths. You will hear broadcasts from central, regional and local channels. Pick 2-3 of them that are best heard in your city.
Step 3
Central channels very often have offices in small towns or network partners. Find a station that has such a partner in your community or nearby. If a large and small radio station is in your area of attention, give preference to the second one.
Step 4
Look for the address and other contact information on the Internet. Large stations have their own sites, which usually contain information about network partners or bureaux. You will definitely find a phone number or email address.
Step 5
Call the CEO or editor-in-chief. Explain why you need to spend the day on the radio. It may be that you and your companions need passes to visit a major station, so it’s better to make a list of participants right away. Keep in mind that the group should be small because guests should not interfere with the normal work of the newsroom.
Step 6
Indicate the surnames, names and patronymics of the tourists. Other data may also be required - the date and place of birth of each, the series and number of the identity document. Gather all the information in advance and make a list. Small editions do without such strictness.
Step 7
If you want to try yourself as a radio operator or correspondent, first find out if there are suitable vacancies. Call and arrange a visit. During the interview, talk about what you can do. Typically, the candidate for the relevant position is left as an observer with an experienced sound engineer or correspondent for the entire shift. You will see the recording equipment, the newsroom, and with the best of luck, you may be allowed to be in the studio during the live broadcast.
