J219: MINI: Intro to Audio (7 Weeks)

This class is the first seven weeks of the semester. Class times will be 1/18, 1/25, 2/1, 2/8, 2/15, 2/22, and 3/1.

This class is for non-audio track students designed to teach the basics of audio journalism. If you’ve never taken an audio class at the J-School and you want an opportunity to learn the basics, this class is for you.

The class will cover both the technical and editorial craft of producing an audio news story: how to edit and mix audio; plan and report a story; do effective audio interviews; gather great sound and scenes; write for the ear; field reporting/producing.
