Subject:
Description:
Staff This course teaches the basics of writing for radio. A variety of types of radio scripts is covered, from short news items, opinion pieces, public service announcements, calendar items and music segues, to basic interviewing techniques and longer, complex new stories. Emphasis is placed on writing for the voice, on making transitions in and out of music or interview tape, on accuracy, and on terse, efficient writing that fits within an allotted time. Some of the scripts written in class will be recorded for use on Colgate University radio, WRCU FM. This course is particularly appropriate for students intending a career in journalism or radio, and includes a visit to WAER FM, the Syracuse University NPR affiliate. Registration priority is given to students involved in WRCU FM. This course does not meet the writing requirement.
