The producer was station founder [[David Crossley]], the news was read by [[Mick Jordan]] with an interview by [[Keith Carr]]. The society at that time included [[Michael Carmody]], [[Geraldine Bray]] (cameras), [[Moira Simmons]] (vision mixer). The University's senior technical officer [[Bruce Pears]], though not a member of the society because he was not a student, was crucial to the successful establishment and production of Newsround.

[[David Crossley]] had initially gathered together a group of about 10 people, mainly through a society stall at the beginning of the first term in October 1967 (an early manifestation of the event now known as [[Freshers' Fair]]). The group met every Monday evening in the little meeting room overlooking the Langwith dining room ({{unsure|Now the Langwith upper JCR?}}). At these meetings ideas were discussed for the weekly 'news magazine' TV programme called 'Newsround', scripts were written and generally everybody had fun. Script writing was made easier because a couple of the members could type - not a common skill among university students in the late 1960s. One member actually owned a portable typewriter which was used extensively. This was [[Sieta Rijkelijkhuizen]] who later became [[Station Director]]. | [[David Crossley]] had initially gathered together a group of about 10 people, mainly through a society stall at the beginning of the first term in October 1967 (an early manifestation of the event now known as [[Freshers' Fair]]).
