Perhaps you’ve always wondered how public radio gets that
smooth, well-crafted sound. Maybe you’re thinking about
starting a podcast, and want some tips from the pros. Or
maybe storytelling has always been a passion of yours, and
you want to learn to do it more effectively. Whatever the
case—whether you’re an avid NPR listener or you aspire to
create your own audio, or both—Sound Reporting: The NPR
Guide to Audio Journalism and Production will give you a
rare tour of the world of a professional broadcaster.
Jonathan Kern, who has trained NPR’s on-air
staff for years, is a gifted guide, able to narrate a day
in the life of a host and lay out the nuts and bolts of
production with equal wit and warmth. Along the way, he
explains the importance of writing the way you speak,
reveals how NPR books guests ranging from world leaders to
neighborhood newsmakers, and gives sage advice on
everything from proposing stories to editors to maintaining
balance and objectivity. Best of all—because NPR wouldn’t
be NPR without its array of distinctive voices—lively
examples from popular shows and colorful anecdotes from
favorite personalities animate each chapter.
As public radio’s audience of millions can
attest, NPR’s unique guiding principles and technical
expertise combine to connect with listeners like no other
medium can. With today’s technologies allowing more people
to turn their home computers into broadcast studios, Sound
Reporting couldn’t have arrived at a better moment to
reveal the secrets behind the story of NPR’s success.
