Journalism 490P - Reporting/Radio & Podcasting 2

This course will build on the fundamentals of the introductory audio journalism course, allowing students to report multiple in-depth, long-form journalistic and documentary audio projects. Emphasis will be placed on producing professional-quality work along with strategies for successfully placing that work with a paid journalistic outlet. Rigorous attention will be paid to story-idea generation, writing, structure, reporting, revision, and sound design in a supportive workshop environment, which will also encourage students to develop the skills needed to find work as an editor, learning how to reshape and strengthen narrative work by their peers. The course will include extensive listening from across audio genres, as well as historical and theoretical readings in journalism and sound studies.
