Time: 2 mintues and 9 seconds
Program: ATC
- Which topics were covered during the listening slot? Hard news, Politics
- Specifically, discuss your impressions concerning the depth of the coverage, competency, accuracy and newsworthiness of the stories you hear. I thought it had a narrative lead to it. It was newsworthiness because same-sex marriage has been legalized and Kansas wants to oppose it. It was very accurate in reporting Kansas stance on the issue and providing feedback from a lesbian woman who wants to get married in Kansas. The LGBT has been battling for same sex marriage laws so the fact that SCOTUS finally made a decision is ground breaking news.
- If you aren't an active listener to NPR, discuss what it's like to get information in a radio format. Do you like it? Did it engage you? Will you be coming back to NPR for your news fix? I liked the authors voice in this story. It was very soothing and he enunciated very well. He made me engaged in the story. I will be coming back to NPR for more breaking stories because they get directly to the point with the most important information first.
- What particular story or stories grabbed your interest? Give a brief description of the story and tell me who was the reporter. What impressed you the most about the journalism? If you were not impressed, what went wrong with the piece? How was sound used in the story? It grabbed my interest because my best friend is gay and I know she wants to be able to get married without the hassle of the government. Not only that but the state is trying to override SCOTUS,which is one of the highest forms of government. The republican governor does not want to implement the new law because of citizens dissatisfied with the SCOTUS decision. There wasn't much sound used beside the voices of the author and interviewees. I was impressed with how the story was organized. The story had good transition from topic to speaker. The reporter was Stephen Korando.
