About journovory

A working reference built by studio crews, for studio crews

journovory started as a set of internal notes passed between camera operators and gaffers trying to solve the same problems on different studio floors across the UK. It has grown into a full resource covering equipment setup, dynamic camera operation, lighting and sound waves, and the workflows that keep television news and live shows running smoothly.

What we stand for

Three principles behind everything we publish

Practical, not theoretical

Every guide is written from real gallery experience — the setups, cues and fixes that actually happen during a live broadcast.

Crew-first thinking

We write for the people on the studio floor: camera operators, gaffers, sound engineers and floor managers.

Reliability under pressure

Live television doesn't pause for problems. Our workflows are built to hold up when the red light is on.

Our story

journovory was founded by a small group of broadcast professionals who were tired of watching good stories get let down by avoidable production mistakes — a boom mic dipping into shot, a lighting rig that couldn't hold colour temperature, a camera move that fought the autocue. We set out to document what actually works.

Where we work

Today, journovory supports regional broadcasters, independent production studios and live-show venues across the United Kingdom, offering studio audits, crew training and full workflow builds alongside our published guidance.
