Reporting and Writing 1 and Radio Skills
Radio Skills is a three to seven week course designed to immerse
students in the basics of radio writing, production and use of sound.
Students write and produce at least three radio reports, using recorded
interviews and sounds, called "actualities," and explore
radio's potential for sound-rich documentary writing, as heard on
National Public Radio programs. Skills courses are scheduled throughout
the fall semester, and in the spring semester on demand. Read the
course syllabus here.
