Students in this reporting class are the first to produce audio stories -- often called podcasts--that can be downloaded and listened to with an mp3 player. This post has links to six of those stories, examples of the high quality of the work on this assignment.
Students were told to produce a reaction/localization to a story published on a newspaper web site. Students could select from three stories provided by the instructor, or choose one of their own.
An audio podcast, like a radio story, must be written for the ear. So students were told to write a radio script. To hear the results click on a student's name, which opens a link to their story. You can play the story in your mp3 player, or download the file and play it later.
Links to stories
Americans are reading less, and understanding less of what they read, according a report from the National Endowment for the Humanities. This story was localized by Nora Cobb and by Rene Lautenschlager.
Georgia's continuing drought has made continuing news. Reaction to recent developments is reported by Larry Conneff and by Caroline Ruse.
Two students were creative in their use of sound. Reductions in consumer spending for Christmas inspired a musical story from Allison Tonini. And Caroline Miller found a clever use for running water in her story on the drought.
