Assignment for Wednesday, Jan. 25

Take the NewsU.org course “Telling Stories With Sound.” You may have to create a NewsU.org account; it’s free. Focus on:

• Overview: Why Sound Matters
• Planning: Choose the Right Story; Research and Pre-Interviews
• In the Field: Ask the Right Questions; Know Your Environment; Record Sound Sources; Collect More Audio
• You can skip the In the Studio chapter and the Sound Mixer activity.
• Submit a course report at the end to jill.vanwyke@drake.edu so I know you completed the course.

In “The Reporter’s Guide to Multimedia Proficiency,” read Section 3, pages 5-7,  “Buy an Audio Recorder and Learn to Use It.”  This link is to a PDF.
