Audio Journalism 

My audio journalism journey began with this podcast series. Although I have lived in the bay area my entire life, I realized I didn’t know anything about our central city, which was just a 20-minute drive away. How could I call myself a bay area local if I couldn’t even navigate the neighborhoods of San Francisco? So, I decided to physically go into the city and talk to different people about their experiences. 

 

From the start, I knew I wanted to produce a radio-style podcast featuring multiple backgrounds from a particular ethnic/social group within one episode. I interviewed people about their experiences in the diverse city of San Francisco and learned how their social or racial group impacts their view of the city. I also utilized music and nat sound to add dimension and created a final product showcasing the different experiences of people in San Francisco.
