Welcome to Beginning Radio Journalism with John Grebe!
The final session of the first Radio Journalism class at CCTV met last night. Some students (me, for example!!!) still have work to do on their projects, but they all seem to be coming together very well. After the class, we talked about how great it would be to build out CCR (Cambridge Community Radio, aka the radio station that broadcasts shows on CCTV's television channels), maybe by starting some sort of collaboration with a university or another community organization. I thought I'd use this space to get people's thoughts. Obviously radio is not a priority at a community television station, but CCTV is really embracing the convergence of all media, so why not step up the radio station? We have some great sound recording gear like the Marantz recorder and audio editing software such as Audacity, but the radio room itself could probably use a makeover. read more...
