Want to make great radio? Even if you’ve been a longtime volunteer, consider coming out to one of this month’s workshops.
You’ll get a refresher on recording technique, story structure, or interviewing tips. And sign up for News Training if you want to try our new audio editing program: Hindenburg!
Volunteer Orientation
When: Saturday, August 5 (12 – 1 PM)
Where: Room 0-55, Students Union Building, University of Alberta
Who: Brand new & prospective volunteers who want to learn what CJSR is all about.
Not a CJSR volunteer but want to be? CJSR Program Director Chad Brunet will guide you through the steps of volunteering at CJSR. Bring your questions!
News Training
This August, News Training is being offered as a two-part workshop. Both sessions are mandatory to complete this training. Across these sessions, Generator’s Kennedy Pawluk and Oumar Salifou will give you hands-on experience in:
- Basics of Interviewing
- Basics of Editing in Hindenburg
- Recording in Studio B
- Post-production
- Writing for radio
There is homework attached to these workshops. Between sessions, you’ll be expected to complete your first interview. By the end, you’ll have made a complete news story, and you’ll be able to present it on Generator, our new producer showcase! Please come prepared with ideas for a news story.
