BREAKOUT PANEL: Telling Stories With Sights & Sound: Broadcasting & Podcasting on the Faith Beat
Update: 2018-09-14
Description
Religion news doesn’t just live in print or in black-and-white. It lives and breathes on screen and on-the-air. Producers and correspondents of TV and radio broadcasts and podcasts will share the advantages and challenges when reporting on religion with visuals and audio. Religion is a topic rich with sights and sounds, but some stories present hurdles and are harder to tell without the written word. Being “on camera” makes it harder to find people willing to speak publicly especially with vulnerable communities. Since radio and podcast audiences are listening to a story, rather than reading it, producers have to stretch their own creativity to make a story resonate.
Panelists will be asked to share how footage and audio shapes the way think of story ideas and how they eventually tell those stories. How does their writing style and language change for telling a story? Are there stories they just can’t manage to tell without words on a page? As news becomes more digital, print reporters can learn and take tips from broadcasters’ and podcasters’ experiences and their knack for tapping into the sights and sounds of religion.
Moderator: Liz Kineke. Speakers: Kim Lawton, Dina Zingaro, Amber Khan, Brittany Wilmes.
