November 15 -- Journalism Homework (Due Thursday for 20 pts.) --You are going to work on audio like a radio reporter

Listen to the audio you see in this link. Then you need to transcribe 10 minutes of it. When you do this you will be able to see how it is assembled. Narrator speaks and then you hear their soundbites. Look at the way it is assembled. Type up the sound. Exactly as you hear them.

Unique: Her quote (yes, type up everything she says)

Narrator: Write up the words of the narrator exactly

Music or NAT (natural sound): Note these when you hear them and check the times -- how long did these run/

I want you to pay particular attention to the way the narrator weaves the quotes together. It is conversational but always leads into the next quote.

WHY Do we do this? So that you can start internalizing how these stories are constructed. You will be doing plenty of your own stories. Learn from the masters . . . no need to reinvent the wheel.

I also want you to listen to this. Last year I took students to hear these guys in downtown DC. They win tons of awards.
