This course introduces students to writing and reporting for radio or podcasting. Students will practice pitching stories, arranging and conducting interviews, as well as writing and mixing radio scripts. The course explores how writing in broadcast journalism differs from print. Students will practice writing in a conversational style that works for "the ear". This is a "hands-on" course that requires students to report, record and write several stories on deadline. It's designed to give students the confidence to pursue audio stories for broadcast or the web.
Open to Journalism majors only. Pre Req: JOURNAL 300
