With the new semester on the doorsteps, Snakker Ikke Norsk is looking to refill our roster. We are looking for 4-5 eager and enthusiastic journalists to join our show.
What is "Snakker Ikke Norsk"?Snakker ikke Norsk is the English language show on Radio Nova, Oslo's student radio station. Our long-standing motto is "by foreign students for foreign students", but hopefully you don't have to be a foreign student to enjoy listening to our show and it is not strictly necessary to be a foreign student to join our show as a journalist.
We try to cover a little bit of everything that goes on in Oslo and the great wide world, but try to focus on things that could be of interest to (foreign) students. We also see ourselves as a bazar of cultural exchange, penetrating the mysteries of Norwegian societies and bringing a little bit of the great wide world to the Norwegian living room (or dorm room).
Snakker ikke Norsk currently airs every sunday from 10-11 on Radio Nova 99.3 FM. Thus we try to keep it light and entertaining, but are not afraid to challenge, enlighten and inspire our listeners too.
What is Radio Nova?Radio Nova is Oslo's student radio station. It is financed primarily by student semester fees and run mostly by volunteers. Other than that Radio Nova is completely independent. A small army of volunteers produces more than fifty hours of radio on just about every topic under the sun, from indie music to cooking shows to radio theatre - and even a quirky English language radio show called "Snakker ikke Norsk".
If you want to work for Snakker ikke Norsk, be aware that it is volunteer work and is not paid - in money. You do get a basic education in radio journalism and the ins and outs of producing a radio show. The requirement is that you put in around 10-15 hours of work, every week (you can take a week or two off for exams). Of course, hard work is rewarding and even without that Radio Nova is a fun place to spend your precious spare time!
If you are interested there is a general recruitment meeting for Radio Nova on August 17, 5PM on Chateau Neuf. If you cannot make it on that day or have any further questions, send an email to snakkerikkenorsk@gmail.com. We are looking forward to hear from you!
