Story Assignment: Audio Package

By |

Purpose

Now that you have written your first story, we’re going to begin to explore how to adapt those stories into different genres, media, and formats. For this assignment we’ll look to adapt, expand, or extend your story into an audio package in the format of a short radio spot. Format

In a traditional print story, writers and editors utilize language, structure, research and interviews to convey a message, tell a story, deliver a report or explore an idea. In the realm of audio or radio, producers and recordists utilize different means to achieve the same ends. A radio or audio package utilizes many different types of recorded sound (including interviews, ambient sound, and pre-recorded audio).
