This course is designed for emerging journalists and reporters looking to explore their craft in audio form. Students will learn to produce interviews and reported audio stories, while gaining concrete skills necessary for finding work in the radio or podcasting industry. Through instructive lectures, craft-based discussions, and hands-on production activities, students will experiment with a variety of audio journalism genres, including news and short features, using professional-grade recording equipment and editing software. You will learn to identify what makes for compelling sources and subjects and how to ethically and effectively navigate a range of interviewing and field reporting settings. We will cover stylistic conventions for scriptwriting and tracking narration and consider strategies for pitching story ideas to real-world media outlets. And you will fine-tune your ear for the craft through collaborative story edits and workshops, coming away with a portfolio of short reported stories, including at least one short broadcast-worthy feature.
