Radio Journalism Toolkit

This toolkit is published by The Institute for the Advancement of Journalism, with the support of the Open Society Foundation for South Africa (OSFSA), and Science Technology Education (STE) Publishers. It aims to offer detailed, practical advice for radio journalists.

The book covers topics such as how to hold a microphone, writing for the ear, compiling bulletins, handling difficult interviews, and digital editing. It includes a particular focus on the needs of community radio journalists, who have to report on a shoestring budget.

Practical exercises are supported by a CD-ROM which has raw sound to work on, examples of great radio reports, and other material.

The CD includes:

• Practical exercises with interviews
• Examples of common audio problems
• Radio packages
• Internet links to international radio resources
