Recommended Qualifications: Teaching experience at college level or higher. The ability to facilitate publishing student work on a professional outlet.
Course description: This course is designed to bring students, who are already familiar with basic radio/audio/reporting and production, to a new level of expertise. Past instructors have arranged for student work to be broadcast locally on KQED-FM or KALW-FM, or nationally on Making Contact. It's important for the Advanced Radio instructor to guide student work from pitch through final production and provide a pipeline for qualified student work to be published professionally.

J-298 – TELLING STORIES ON AIR (15 weeks)
Required Qualifications: Minimum of five years professional media experience.
