Overview of class

Audio reporting is how we tell stories with sound. Lean in on the power of the human voice and create scenes that transport audiences into the pieces we create. This class is designed for journalists seeking to learn how to create audio news stories. In this Q2 course, you will replicate work produced in a public radio newsroom. You'll learn how to do vox, spots and one sound-rich feature. Plan, record, edit, and mix audio, but also how to find and shape the kinds of stories found on air in public radio stations across the country. You will create an audio news feature by the end of class.
