I. THREE STORY IDEAS (Due 9/26): Come to class with three story ideas written down. Our discussion of these will give you insight into the kinds of stories which are appropriate to the course and ideas about developing those stories. You are not limited to just these stories. But all story ideas need approval before being started.
II. KUOW CRITICAL PAPER (Due 10/3): Spend time monitoring KUOW, 94.9, Seattle’s public radio station, for examples of the kinds of work we expect. You should write a 3 - 4 page paper critiquing three of the stories/segments/reports/news stories you hear. How do they inform your work in this unit? What distinguishes NPR/Kuow’s news from news heard on commercial radio? How are the news pieces constructed? What elements comprise each story? How are interviews used? What role does the reporter play in the finished piece? The anchor? Are there ambient sounds? Music? How much scripting is there?
III. Pre production/ writing: done by 10/4
Interviews done by 10/13
Editing, mixing done by 10/17
