Sound Reporting

Sound Reporting: The NPR Guide to Audio Journalism and Production will give you rare insight into the unique journalism that defines NPR. Jonathan Kern, who has worked with staff throughout NPR News, is a gifted guide, able to narrate a day in the life of a host and lay out the nuts and bolts of production with equal wit and warmth. And best of all -- because NPR listeners have come to expect compelling storytelling with distinctive voices -- lively examples from programs and reporting and colorful anecdotes from favorite journalists animate each chapter.
