Hacio
Encyclopedia
Hacio is a Welsh language
current affairs
television programme for young people which has been broadcast since 2000. It is produced by ITV Cymru (formerly HTV) and broadcast on Tuesday nights on S4C
and aims to address issues and illustrate stories of interest to young people from all parts of Wales and beyond.
Hacio is produced almost entirely by a young crew of journalists who research, shoot and edit their own material. The material for the programme is often but not always gathered on lightweight DVCAM cameras, typically the Sony DSR-500 or HVR-Z1E, and edited on-line using desktop editing software called Avid.
Using an experienced in-house trainer, the programme gives young journalists a comprehensive introduction to factual TV programme-making and helps enable them to expand and develop their careers in broadcasting. Several Hacio "graduates" have used the skills gained on the programme to their advantage and have moved on to higher profile programmes such as Y Byd ar Bedwar
(The World on Four) and programmes made by other, national broadcasters such as the BBC
