Connecting with Community: Creating Weekly Podcasts (WNHS) Connecting with Community: Creating Weekly Podcasts (WNHS) Journalism teacher – Mrs. Plankey ([email protected]) Students will: 1. Learn about student-produced podcasts. 2. Review and critique podcasts produced by other students as a basis for creating their own segments. 3. Create beats, brainstorm topics and create scripts. 4. Reflect on the process and experience of preparing and sharing information with the world via podcasts. Big Picture: We create the script for the weekly WNHS podcast. (Discuss format, news value, expectations and deadlines). If you could broadcast news or information from this school to the world, what subjects, issues, current events or opinions would you choose? Be creative and think big. • Participate in a quick news quiz. Can you match the lead story to the magazine cover? Measure your news savvy! • Next, write down one story idea, which is specific to your school. Please write an idea for your next podcast and include the name of your school. Respond yes or no: Can you get video footage with this story? Collect. • Get started with the background • Step one = Understand podcasting. Podcasting derives from blending “broadcasting” and “iPod.” It evolved as collaboration between an MTV VJ (Adam Curry) and a software entrepreneur (Dave Winer) over the summer of 2004. A podcast is a kind of audio/video recording that anyone with a computer, Internet connection and software programs can create. The subjects run the gamut from debates to lively reviews to conversations. The quality also ranges from sophisticated production to a barely audible soliloquy. Podcasting fans have praised the new phenomenon for democratizing radio productions. Liked to TiVo for radio, people can pause, fast-forward and rewind, since it isn’t live. People can listen or view whenever they want. And unlike traditional radio, individual podcasts are not subject to government regulation, time limits or interrupted by commercials. Source: Harper, Liz. “Podcasting Power for the People.” Online Newshour Extra 23 Feb. 2005. • Step two = Review. Begin research by reviewing WNHS (http://moodle.neenah.k12.wi.us/groups/wnhs/blog or Search for WNHS on iTunes or http://neenah.k12.wi.us/nhs Click on WNHS under Student Publications and other schools’ podcasts. SchoolTube.com is a solid resource. View 2 or 3 segments preferably from different schools. Record your answers to stay focused. What were the topics? How long was the segment? Who were the presenters? How did they present? What, if anything, did you learn from it? How would you describe the quality of the information? How would you describe the quality of the presentation? What visual or audio devices were used, if any? Were these devices used to support the information, add color to the presentation or to serve some other purpose? After reviewing several podcasts, share feedback. Helpful tips: Be clear: make sure you stay on topic. Be creative: how will you get viewers’ attention and keep them watching/listening? Be thorough: are you telling them everything they need to know? Be concise: keep it short, no longer than 2 minutes per segment. Be accurate: check and double-check your facts. Be careful: edit your work to say what you want it to say, the way you want to say it. Be professional: share your work with your group and promote quality. Be genuine: appeal to your student body, your community and your world. WNHS podcast What is your group’s beat this week? What do you want your viewers to learn? How will you present your information? How long will your segment be? What information is the most important to convey during your limited broadcast time? What information will each person in your group contribute and how? What visuals, audio or other devices will you use to bring interest to your piece. Group responsibilities What will each person need to do in order to complete the segment? What will each person research and write? How will you be sure that your final presentation is cohesive? What tool, props or other devices will you need for your segment? What can you do individually to promote group/class success? Sample beats: Beats for WNHS Directions: Working with a partner, you will be responsible to cover beats for WNHS’s weekly broadcast. Deadlines are Wednesdays at the end of Mod. 5. Partnerships will move down the beat list with the goal of covering all beats. Editors will use news judgment to determine priority and write transitions. Editors will submit the final script to Mrs. Plankey Thursday morning before school in room 134. Production is Friday morning. Expectations: One page per beat (30-60 seconds of reading). It must include a source. 1. School News 2. Sports 3. Clubs - Extracurricular 4. Technology / Green Focus 5. Classroom 6. Profiles - Interviews 7. Fashion / Trends 8. Reviews / Entertainment 9.

Cartert Scott Lunttt ABSTRACT With the relative democratization of broadcast communication brought about by the new media technologies of podcasting and Internet broadcasting, new questions have arisen regarding appropriate legal standards for regulatory efforts. In particular, Internet broadcasters and podcasters collide with licensing agencies responsible for implementing U.S. and foreign copyright law. Media convergence has caused confusion amongst policymakers, industry professionals and the public with respect to the application of traditional copyright law to these new technologies. This article explores how congressional legislation and federal court jurisprudence, combined with the efforts of private licensing agencies such as ASCAP, BMI and SoundExchange, impact the t Assistant professor of communications, Brigham Young University; ID., Brigham Young University, 2003; M.S.

  • 15 Years Edited Transcription
    FULL AUDIO TRANSCRIPTION With Everyone (by myself) Episode 0001: 15 Years of Podcasting Host: Shawn Thorpe Web link 00:00 This month marks my fifteen year anniversary of podcasting. I am pretty sure I published my first episode January twenty seven. It's not a terribly exciting story. But I don't know that I've ever told the in depth story of how I started. 00:26 In summer Two Thousand Four, I launched my first real website with a domain name. That's phantom power dot org; still exists but doesn't really do anything other than handle my e-mail. I had this idea at the time of just recording radio shows as MP3 files and just posting them on my website and just kind of see, "Hey if anybody find some, great." That idea grew out of the fact fact that I'd been publishing music on the internet for a few years and really in one way or the another, publishing on the internet since ninety seven and I had this idea to do radio shows. I had enough gear already. I had the know how to record audio because I've been doing it with music for a few years and you know I had a cup of coffee in radio back in nineteen ninety six, because I went to broadcasting school from ninety five into ninety six. Got an internship at WABT FM. Eventually worked on air there. Up until the point when the radio station went off air. It was bought out by a Spanish radio conglomerate and they pretty much turned it into a robo station.

This utopian vision reflects the early, optimistic social communication. Drawing upon Jürgen Habermas’s work period in the development of the Internet, when it was on the emergence of the “public sphere,” and its imagined to be an open public forum that provided an transformation into a “sphere of culture consumption,” I argue alternative to privately owned print media and commercial that a similar transformation has taken place in electronic broadcast networks. The first Netizens engaged in space. Early attempts to construct virtual communities to conversations through text contributions on Usenet and support open communication have led to private, commercial bulletin board systems. Soon, sites that were designed to sites that serve business objectives. A similar transformation support virtual communities emerged. can be traced in the development of podcasting, as amateur, volunteer efforts are overshadowed by professional, corporate In his 1993 account of his experiences as a participant in The content.

  • Implications of Copyright on Podcasting
    THE REGULATION OF SHRINK-WRAPPED RADIO: IMPLICATIONS OF COPYRIGHT ON PODCASTING Michael N. Langt I. INTRODUCTION While the expansion of the Internet has been a boon to subscribers of digital audio services, the Recording Industry Association of America ("RIAA") has remained extremely occupied with affirmative litigation against consumers of illegal or "pirated" music in an attempt to stem the losses of flagging recording sales.' The introduction of digital audio recording in the late 1980s spawned a whole new arena for digital recording and playback technology.2 Today's tech- nologies provide consumers with the means and opportunities to record, re- ceive, copy, and distribute audio segments of original recordings without the readily apparent loss of quality previously experienced through analog re- cording devices.' A corresponding increase in piracy accompanied the increase in digital audio use as technology enabled the production and distribution of exact copies of commercially prepared works without licensed copyrights or J.D. Candidate, May 2007, The Catholic University of America, Columbus School of Law. I would like to thank Carly Didden for her helpful guidance and insight into the world of copyright.

  • Voices-Cast : a Report on the New Audiosphere of Podcasting with Specific Insights for Public Broadcasting
    ANZCA09 Communication, Creativity and Global Citizenship. Brisbane, July 2009 Voices-cast: a report on the new audiosphere of podcasting with specific insights for public broadcasting Virginia M Madsen Macquarie University, NSW, Australia [email protected] Virginia Madsen is a lecturer in Media and Convenor of Radio at the University of Macquarie, Sydney. She is also an established radio documentary and feature producer with her work heard on the ABC and internationally. Her numerous published writings on radio and auditory culture include essays on cultural radio history for Southern Review (Vol. 39/3, 2007), The Radio Journal (Vol. 3/3, 2005) and Radio (Ed. Crisell, Routledge 2009), a chapter on ‘Experiments in Radio’ in the book, Experimental Music: Audio Explorations in Australia, (Ed. Gail Priest, UNSW Press, 2009) and an essay investigating sound and noise deployed as weapon for the journal, Organised Sound (Vol 14 Issue 14/1 2009). She is currently working on a book charting the development and forms of the international radio documentary or feature. Abstract Digitisation and the ready downloading and distribution of audio files on the internet have transformed contemporary audio media. Podcasting, which emerged with unexpected rapidity in 2005, has achieved wide popularity due to two of its characteristics: time-shifting and portability. Another feature of podcasting – to date less a subject of critical reflection – is the central role played by the voice and pre existing forms of voice radio. Drawing on examples and links with early radio and some of its more imaginative forms, this paper theorizes the podcast phenomenon as an extension of already existing speech radio – a boon in particular to public broadcasting radios’ rich reservoir of programs and cultural and democratic mission.
