How To Do Radio

How To Do Radio

Radio Journalism 101

Want to work in Radio and need help getting started?

Want to suggest a story for NPR?

The Poynter Institute of Journalism site advertises itself as "Everything you need to be a better journalist". Highlights include an excellent and comprehensive High School Journalism Guide, and Nelson, an excellent search engine that searches by Newspapers, Print/TV, Beats or Journalism Organizations.

The Radiocollege.org site has excellent articles and suggestions on how to get your career off the ground, learn more about what you are doing or even find a school of Journalism to attend. Looking for scholarship money? There are quite a few organizations that offer such opportunities.

At AIRMedia.org you can join an organization made up of dedicated professionals who make a living (!!!) doing the kinds of stories public radio is known for.

Want to report for the BBC? They have a huge site dedicated to training and development.

The Minidisc Community Portal features links, forums, mailing lists, cool uses, etc.

Transom.org Tools editor Jeff Towne has gone through the transom discussion boards and created a list of FAQs.

NPR Technical Advisor Flawn Williams answers all your audio questions in our Ask The Engineer section. Caution: some of this may be redundant or you may find slightly differing opinions. You should read for similarities, not difference of opinion.
