Script:
Whenever being asked about who the person having a significant role to play in my life is, I always answer that is my best friend called Nhung. Um, I first met her  5 years ago when we were studying at our high school. Um, At that time, for me,  she was nothing rather than a distant classmate. Since I thought she was not, um, kind of, not my cup of tea. Um, however, time’s gone by, we had more time to talk and share. We often  hung out with each other after classes or went shopping , which helped us to get away from it all and recharged ourselves. well, ever since then,  we got closer and closer. Now she is my beloved soulmate that I can’t imagine how terrible, lonely my life would be if somedays she disappeared. Frankly, I am quite into her tactfulness what I mean here is  she seldom cuts somebody to the quick, or that sort of thing. That is the reason why we have never had any row so far. what’s more,  it is she who gives me useful advice when I am in trouble. Being with her, I don’t have to keep anything quiet because she is such a thoughtful listener that I can, I can let all things out. To be honest not only am I in debt to her but also treasure this priceless friendship.

Cyber-security: How to protect yourself online

In an era where fake news is fashionable, data can help distinguish the facts from the fiction. But how do you interrogate a spreadsheet and hold the data to account? And how can journalists use data to find stories? 

The BBC has placed the "interrogation of data" at the heart of its annual plan for 2017/18 and subsequent three-year strategy. Around 12 new staff are being recruited, including data journalists, data scientists, developers, designers, a cartographer, and a first head of statistics who will start in August 2017. 

Data is clearly becoming an increasingly important storytelling tool. But is data journalism new? And is it a specialist skill or can anyone do it? 

In this podcast you will learn:

- the skills you need to be a data journalist
- what makes a good data story
- if you need to know how to code or be good at maths to create stories
- how 'scripting' can be useful when working with data
- how long it takes to learn the spreadsheet skills you need to work on data stories 
- how quickly you can go from idea to publication

"I really hope that sometime in the future we drop the term 'data journalism' because it's just journalism." – Helena Bengtsson

Presenter Daniel Wainwright of the BBC England Data Unit is joined by BBC data journalism editor John Walton, Guardian data projects team editor Helena Bengtsson and Paul Bradshaw who leads the new MA in Data Journalism at Birmingham City University.

Data journalism: More important than ever?

Daytime television was once thought of as the nursery slopes of a TV career. Today its complex formats and production requirements are seen by many as more challenging than peak-time programming.

“You will learn more making a daytime show than any other.”– Rachel Innes-Lumsden

Smaller teams, smaller budgets and tighter schedules mean there’s little room for error. That makes a daytime production team a well-oiled machine where everyone knows their job.

Street Auction (above) and Dom on the Spot are two BBC One daytime series that were given the green light by commissioning editor Lindsay Bradbury. Alongside Lindsay in this week’s podcast are Julia Foot, series producer of Street Auction, and Rachel Innes-Lumsden, executive producer from the independent production company TwoFour which makes Dom on the Spot

In this podcast you’ll learn:

- the pros and cons of working on daytime programmes
- the daytime TV production process
- the relationship between commissioning editors and programme producers
- the schedules for daytime productions
