Multimedia Reporting Spring 2021

Pitch Workshop pt 2 and Practice Radio Assignment: Wed. March 10

Pitch Workshop

We’ll finish workshopping the rest of your pitches today.

 


 

Reminders and Upcoming Dates

Tomorrow is the Harman event, the screening of In Sudden Darkness at 1pm—I hope some of you can make it! It’s free and you can register here.

Next class, on Monday, March 15, we’ll be welcoming our distinguished visiting journalist, David Gonzalez.

Radio scripts will be due Wednesday, March 24, our last class before spring break. You’ll all be signing up for one-on-one edit sessions that day instead of meeting as a class as usual. I will post a sign-up sheet when it gets a little closer.

Radio stories will be due April 5, our first class back from break.

 


 

Homework: Practice Radio Assignment

Record a practice interview. You can take turns interviewing a classmate over the phone, doing “tape syncs” for each other, or interview someone in person who you’re already in contact with. Aim for about five minutes and refer to my guidelines for getting good sound quality.

You will be using this audio to write a practice script next week and then in an audio editing tutorial, so make sure to hold onto it and have it available for Wednesday’s class.
