========================


"From Soup to Nuts"

A 2-day intensive on documentary radio production

offered in the San Francisco Bay Area

Logistics:

This seminar will be held January 21 & 22, 2012.

Each day's class will run from 10 am to 5:30 pm,

including 6 hours of class work, plus lunch and breaks.

 

It will be held at Claire’s studio in Berkeley, California

Class will be limited to 8 students.

The cost of the 2-day seminar is $230.


The Course:

Through lectures, group discussion, Q & A, written handouts, and lots of audio demos, this two-day class will explore the ins and outs of creating a long-form radio documentary. Designed to meet the needs of mid-level producers, this seminar will also be accessible to individuals who have little or no experience in radio production.

 

Compelling audio documentary incorporates a creative weave of elements including narration, interviews, music, vérité scenes, character portraits, dramatizations, performances, archival tape and ambience beds. Students learn how these elements serve to paint a picture in sound.

 

Emphasis will be put on the production process. To this end, the class will examine the steps of concept development, research, pre-production, recording techniques, interviewing, writing, organizing tape, scripting, editing and mixing required to create an audio documentary.

 

Most importantly, we will focus on the art of storytelling. We will discuss dramatic structure, taking the listener through introduction, development and resolution of a story. And we will explore how character development brings the listener to the heart of the story.

 

The Teacher:

Claire Schoen is a media producer, with a special focus on documentary radio. As a producer/director, she has created over 20 long-form radio documentaries and several documentary films, as well as numerous short works. As a sound designer she has recorded, edited and mixed sound for film, video, radio, webstory, museums and theater productions. Her radio documentaries have garnered numerous awards including NFCB Golden and Silver reels, two Gracies, two Clarion awards, a PASS and a New York International Festival Silver. She has also shared in both a Peabody and a DuPont-Columbia.


Claire

has taught documentary radio production at numerous venues including U.C. Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism, Duke University’s Center for Documentary Studies, AIR's mentorship program and the Third Coast Festival Conference.

Columbia j-school promotes new post-graduate program in science, health, and the environment

The Columbia School of Journalism has a new post-graduate program in Health and Science Journalism among other specialties. Their Dean of Student Affairs is seeking talented and motivated potential students. LOTS of details below, or visit http://www.journalism.columbia.edu/maprogram. Deadline for the fall semester is Jan 15.

-mia

+++++++++++++++++++++++

M.A. in Journalism and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Program in Health
and Science Journalism

OVERVIEW OF THE M.A. PROGRAM: The prestigious Master of Arts program,
inaugurated in 2005, is for experienced journalists who wish to study a
specific subject area, such as science, health and the environment; arts and
culture; politics or business and economics. Unlike our Master of Science
program, which focuses on teaching basic reporting, the M.A. is designed to
equip experienced journalists with subject-area expertise so that they may
cover complicated issues in a sophisticated, nuanced manner.

For instance, students develop the knowledge that will allow them to situate
news events in their larger context, to ask more informed questions, and to
evaluate competing claims made by sources. The program imparts a deeper
understanding of journalism and the forms it takes, and the focus is on
content as much as on skills.

The students do an intensive seminar in their major, along with advanced
courses in other departments of Columbia University specializing in topics
of their interest. They will also design and create a Master's Thesis over
several months of study working closely with a faculty editor as well as
outside experts. The end result will be an in-depth, compelling piece of
long-form journalism (8,000-10,000 words for a print story, or the
equivalent in another medium).

THE SCIENCE, HEALTH & ENVIRONMENT MAJOR: the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
Program in Health and Science Journalism

This program is an excellent opportunity for journalists from around the
world interested in deepening their knowledge of health, science and
environmental issues and improving their ability to tell stories about these
critical topics.

The Science seminar, taught by distinguished professors Marguerite Holloway
and Jonathan Weiner, covers everything from quarks and black holes to the
quirks of the human genome; from Galileo’s funding troubles to NASA’s
travails. Whether students study the contemporary debate over global warming
or evolution, the seminar starts back before the fever began. Students learn
to see science in the widest perspective and to write about it with all the
tools of narrative nonfiction. Most applicants are experienced journalists
who have demonstrated the potential to become leading science writers. The
field of science writing is changing explosively, and this course is
designed to make our students the very fittest to survive in it, adapt to
its transformations, and shape its future.

Other courses will allow M.A. students to work closely with science, health
and environment departments throughout Columbia University.

The program is full-time, and runs from August through May. For more
information, please visit our website
http://www.journalism.columbia.edu/maprogram

This particular program has more generous scholarship aid than most of our
other programs.

COMMENTS FROM PAST STUDENTS: "Prof. Holloway led us fearlessly &
enthusiastically through everything from quantum mechanics to human
migrations out of Africa." – Moises Velasquez, M.A. 2006

"The M.A. program is not another rung on a ladder; it's a launching pad." –
Haley Sweetland Edwards, M.A. 2009

IDEAL APPLICANTS: We seek students who have excellent writing skills and are
familiar with the fundamentals of reporting and journalistic ethics. In
addition, we look for candidates who are curious about the world, eager to
learn more about a particular subject area, determined and resourceful,
motivated to dedicate their careers to journalism, and who exhibit
leadership potential. Experience in science journalism is NOT essential.

ADMISSIONS INFORMATION AND DEADLINES: The deadline for Fall 2012
applications is January 15, 2011. http://www.journalism.columbia.edu/apply

SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION: The Graduate School of Journalism is proud to offer generous financial assistance to students who demonstrate excellent academic achievement, financial need and exceptional promise for leading careers in journalism. We work with each student to ease the cost of attendance through a combination of scholarships and need-based programs, including grants and Federal and private loans. For more information, please visit our website: www.journalism.columbia.edu/ scholarships

CAREER SERVICES: Graduates of the M.A. program have been hired at news
organizations including The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall
Street Journal, Pro Publica, Reuters, The NewsHour, and CNN. They are also
writing books, producing independent documentaries, and freelancing for a
wide variety of magazines, newspapers, broadcast and online news
organizations.

Our career services staff – all former journalists with strong industry
connections in print, broadcast and online media – work closely with
students to help them pursue the most prestigious jobs in the U.S. and
overseas. Students meet with a career services counselor for one-on-one
consultations throughout the school year. For more information please visit
the Career Services website: http://www.journalism.columbia.edu/careers

PLEASE NOTE: The program runs full-time in the Fall and Spring semesters and
you do NOT need the GRE to apply.

“Reel Aging Real Change” Documentary Media Residency, deadline Jan 6

Interesting opportunity from Working Films – films at any stage of production are welcome to apply. Deadline Jan 6. Details below and here: http://workingfilms.org/article.php?id=440

-mia

++++++++++++

Working Films, with support from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, announces Reel Aging: Real Change, an initiative that will tie compelling documentary films and transmedia projects that explore aging to ongoing policy work and grassroots campaigns supporting older populations globally. This new initiative will bring together media makers and advocates of elder rights for a residency and collaborative campaign that will offer audiences a unique way to reflect on how the aging process affects multiple generations all at once, as we head towards a future we all face – growing older.

We are seeking applications from media makers for participation in Reel Aging: Real Change. All nonfiction projects that explore the aging experience are eligible to apply, and applicants may be at any stage of production or distribution, from new and completed projects to works-in-progress.

Reel Aging: Real Change will begin with a four-day residency for the accepted media makers held from March 23 – 26, 2012 near Washington, DC. On Tuesday, March 27, the media makers will present their projects to regional, national and global NGOs, funders, government agencies, activists, and policy makers – all leaders in the field of aging who have a track record of supporting elder rights, respect and health. The goal: to embed the film and media projects into on-the-ground efforts by the advocates in the room. Hosted in Washington, DC in collaboration with the Center for Social Media at American University, this day-long strategic convening will launch a collaborative campaign between the participating media makers and the NGOs and foundations.

The central idea behind Reel Aging: Real Change is that organizers and advocates need numerous media tools to enliven their efforts for progressive change: poignant first-person feature-length narratives, concise shorts highlighting human struggles and triumphs, and "buzz" on multiple platforms – including social media networks. Authentic change and real transformation of the status quo requires many types of stories that can catalyze action by audiences, constituents and those entrusted with decision-making.

Reel Aging will transform competition into collaboration between eight to ten teams of selected social issue documentary and media makers. At the residency they will sharpen their strategies for audience and community engagement and brainstorm about a collaborative campaign featuring the full group of participating projects. Participants will identify target audiences and develop tactics to reach them through non-traditional outreach and distribution, including interactive technologies and social media.

On day five the residents will start to develop collaborative relationships with funders, government agencies, and advocacy organizations. Each project team will leave the retreat with a series of next-steps and commitments with the convened allies. Each organization and foundation will leave the convening with new films and media they can embed into their short and long-term strategies to support concrete change.

After the residency, Working Films will aggregate and capture the collective energy of the participating media makers and the NGO’s to design an integrated, multi-tier campaign that will:  

•    Strengthen the voice of older adults and more actively involve them in advocating on their own and others behalf,
•    Extend and protect the rights of older adults to health and economic security through policy change, and

•    Sustain the capacity of organizations focused on aging issues to respond to future challenges.

Application Deadline:  January 6, 2012

Transom Story Workshop spring session, application deadline Jan 2

I heard phenomenal things about this radio training workshop offered by the folks at Transom in Woods Hole, MA. The deadline for their spring session is Jan 2. If you want to learn radio storytelling with the best of the best, check this out!

-mia

++++++++++++++++++++++

* NEW SHOW: Transom Story Workshop – Class of Fall 2011 *

For seven weeks, students from all over the US (plus Canada and Australia) came to Woods Hole to immerse themselves in radio. They were led by Rob Rosenthal, with help from all of us at Transom, WCAI, and visiting friends–Ira Glass, John Barth, Kelly McEvers, and many others. They were beginners when they arrived, some with no experience at all, but they all left with completed radio pieces good enough for broadcast on our station and nationally.

They lived and ate together. They worked on their stories until dawn. They actually looked different when they left, filled with new energy. They were a wonderful, coherent, lively group of people and we loved having them here on Cape Cod. Audiences are already benefitting from the stories they told. We hope you'll drop by Transom to read about their experiences, listen to some of their work, and ask them questions.

And, by the way, the application deadline for the Spring Session (April-May 2012) is January 2nd.
