FUNDAMENTALS OF NEWS MMC 208

 

 

 

Radio Project 1

 

 

 

You’ll produce one 5-7 minute radio show. You may do a NEWSCAST ONLY or a mix of INTERVIEWwith NEWSCAST. If you do the interview portion it will require you to interview someone and takesound bites from the interviews.

 

Ideally, you’ll record “natural sound” (also can be found online) from an event having to do with the story and include it in the piece

 

 

 

Again, the best of these will be added to the CMMC.AUE.AE page. The signoff /“lockout” for all

 

Radio shows should be, “I’m _______,CMMC NEWS, Goodnight.”

 

 

 

You will use the program “AUDACITY, link to download

If you have another software, you may use it, but if the audio quality is not good, it will hurt your grade. Maintain standards of good taste (if in doubt ask).
