Devon and Cornwall Film

An Exeter journo has been shortlisted in a national competition for a video wot she done.

Alice Klein, from the Express & Echo rag (not this), shot a two minute flick on carbon offsetting for the BBC’s snooty Newsnight show, which asked viewers to send in their own news.

Like many local hacks these days, she’d just been sent on a video journalism course so thought she’d have a go at the competition.

Her film is pretty dull (we’re not very good with the math, you know), but it’s well put together and Alice is not very ugly which is a definite bonus. As is her lovely stripey jumper. Aw.

The film is among 13 on the shortlist (we know – 13 is an odd amount to choose) and those which receive the most public votes will be broadcast on the programme in January. At two minutes each, they could just show em all, but where’s the excitement in that, eh?

To watch Alice’s video just click on the image below or visit the BBC Newsnight website. Her piece is number seven, entitled Carbon. There is a voting thingy on the page or you can just email newsnight@bbc.co.uk with ‘Carbon’ in the subject box.

You only have til Monday to vote for her (should you so wish), so you’d better get a bloody move on.
