Journalism 393N - S-Report/Radio & Podcasting I

In this course, students dive into the fundamentals of audio journalism and begin to develop their own storytelling styles and voices. Along the way, they learn the technical side of audio while building confidence in creating stories for the ear (a much different process than writing for the eye). And it all starts and ends with reporting and writing ? for both broadcast radio stories and longform podcasts. Throughout this course, students navigate the entire life cycle of audio stories, including developing and pitching story ideas, writing and revising scripts, producing and editing audio files and exchanging constructive peer feedback. This is a hands-on, professional practice course in which students both learn about the theory and fundamentals of audio journalism and practice the skills they learn by creating a variety of audio clips.

Open to Journalism majors only. Pre Req: JOURNAL 300 .
