Session 3 of 4: Radio and Audio Storytelling
Instructor: Kendal Blust, Professor of Practice
Most of us have listened to the news at some point – whether it’s our local NPR station in the car or a podcast on our smartphones. In this session, we’ll talk about the latest in radio and podcasting, from the rising popularity of audio storytelling and what makes it so effective, to how the industry is changing and the challenges it faces. Expect to hear some excellent audio pieces, as well!
Session 4: The Evolution of Community Photojournalism in Tucson
Instructor: Rick Wiley, Professor of Practice
Technology has helped photojournalists with legacy print news organizations cover more events and deliver photos in minutes. Despite the efficiency, the economics of the news business has forced tradeoffs in coverage.”
