Radio Journalism and Podcasts
Undergraduate
Undergraduate
To further develop students’ ability to write for radio, longer format radio stories and podcasts.
Students will build on existing knowledge of broadcast writing and producing. Students will develop skills to edit news material using industry-standard software, compile news reports on location, apply industry standards to news writing, voice reporting, news production and podcasting as well as knowledge of sourcing and interviewing techniques. They will identify and analyse key ethical and legal obligations associated with broadcast reporting including podcasting.
Students will analyse the demands of radio journalism in an industry standard, state of the art radio studio and
the processes inherent in the preparation and presentation of radio stories (both short and long format) with a live
audience. Students will experience the practical constraints of radio journalism and will learn to work to daily
deadline pressures in a team.
