Just as we radio folk now often carry cameras, print and photo journalists are now lugging basic audio-recording gear out to cover stories. Apple’s Pro – Techniques site has an Audio in Rich Media section devoted to them. Their articles cover audio basics well, including “Telling Stories with Sound,” “Audio Gear for Rich Media,” and “Field Recording Techniques.”

Journalism.org just released a massive report on The State of the News Media 2007. We @ HV are most taken with revelations in the Radio chapter, such as:
- most popular format- Country Music.
- pubradio listeners- NPR 26M, APM 17M, PRI “difficult to track.”
- Clear Channel gets most of the cash; CBS gets some; the rest split scraps.
- radio news folk work for peanuts, and lately just for the shells.
- podcast listeners are pretty evenly spread out b/w 12-54yo, except for those 18-24 who podcast LESS (but a bit more than 55-64).
- most educated audience- Sports Talk listeners (gotta be to track all those March Madness stats)
When you finish with the factoids, do waste some more time with their “Design Your Own Chart” feature.
