Lecture4: Factual Storytelling-SOUND

Online lecture comprising of interview with two radio presenters from ABC Local Radio; Richard Fidler & Steve Austin

When I listened to the audio clip, I took some notes about the interview. Radio producers have to find stories before having a successful interview. It would be easier to finish the task if the topic of the interview is what we are interested in. The interviewer can guide the conversation, but space should be given to the interviewee. Interviewee would feel free to talk if he/ she is situated in a safe environment. In general, radio has a big difference from TV. Radio is maintaining its value all the time even other media keep changing. It's mainly because radio fits in with our daily life. It is important for the radio presenters to put wants of the audiences first. A golden rule is very useful to all of us, that is "talk less, but listen more". We should respect the person who is talking, and get his/ her main ideas by listening patiently. To be a journalist in radio, students have to stay immersed in news and the globe. Last but not least, we can keep an open mind to understand others' opinion in order to get more ideas.
