As explained in class, audio for the web (and podcasting) has several styles. Audio can be as simple as narrating the news, providing color to an opinion piece, or a full-blown news or feature story with background sound and soundtracks.

For next class. prepare a two-minute audio segment and link to it from you blog. You can use Audacity and FTP to your digitalnewsroom.net account, or sign up at ClickCaster and record and post an audio piece via the web.

Your audio should be something other than just reading a news story. You can re-purpose one of your previous blog posts, and simply narrate the post. Or you can record and edit some new material into an NPR-like report.

Minumum expectation is two minutes of audio, single track (meaning that it doesn’t need to have multiple tracks with audio and natural sound) & linked to from your blog (same process as if you were linking to an html documment or web site).
