Learning to podcast with Crystal Ligori

-
By Malcolm Cole II

          In early March for a couple of days, producer and newscaster Crystal Ligori came in to our journalism class to teach us about podcasting and how to use multiple sources to help with it. When she came in, she introduced us to an application called Adobe Audition. This app was major help into assisting us into making our very first podcast with our groups. She has taught us on how to use voice and sound editing in the app to make the podcast not only sound less choppy, but to make it sound more real and to make it sound less edited. As she was here, she taught us more on how to create interviews with people and how to convince others to come to do an interview with us. She also gave us real microphones with headsets to set up our own interviews to make with classmates.
         Crystal Ligori is the newscaster for "All Things Considered" and is the producer for the radio program "Literary Arts: The Archive Project." Before this, she’s worked at local rock station (KUFO) as the music director and hosted a music show. Before moving to Portland, she worked at the Spokane,Washington a modern music radio (KZZU). Also, she worked at KBGA in Missouri, Montana that had been student-run at the time. Ligori is also a freelance voice-over artist and has done multiple commercials and narration for stories. Ligori attended the University of Montana and has earned a degree there in Broadcast Journalism. There she earned the Hearst Journalism Award for broadcast news radio features and the Society of Professional Journalists award for television feature reporting.
From Ligori I learned how to use Adobe Audition and how to make a full podcast, how to edit sound for a video, and to put your voice into voice-over. I appreciated how much she had taught the class on how to make a simple podcast. She told us how to set-up a short and sweet interview and how to get that person to interview in the first place. She even worked with us almost 100% of the time when we were just coming up with ideas and questions for our podcast. Overall, Ligori has educated me on simple voice techniques and editing techniques that I never would of known if it wasn’t for her.

    I like how you organized the article- telling what happened, giving background, then bringing it back to what you learned. It gave your post good flow.

    I like how the last paragraph is a summary but its still interesting to read. I also like how the background paragraph is in the middle and not the beginning.

Guest post by rising sophomore Sandra Thein, photos courtesy of Kelly Ryu and Emilie Kono I love those college YouTube videos: “2018 COLLEGE DECISION REACTIONS - IVY LEAGUE AND MORE!” The enthusiasm and gratitude the applicants radiate upon hearing where they will be spending the next four years of their lives is inspiring and motivating for a high school student like me.  I'm also inspired by students closer to home. Graduating senior Emilie Kono is a student athlete with a love for science and music. "Bo th in and outside of school," says Kono, "my family, friends, coaches, teachers and mentors have all been incredibly supportive in pushing me to reach my full potential; I can’t thank them enough! I knew that I wanted to be at an academically high achieving school and Stanford was an excellent choice. Between the incredible professors, facilities and some of the brightest students in the nation, I knew that I would be lucky to join them.” The only

Photojournalism

By Faith Pauken, www.cardinaltimes.org staff member All photos by Faith Pauken Photojournalism is a form of journalism that provides images to aid in the telling of a story or news. Pictures contribute to the overall perception one may have about an article. By giving the reader a visual, they’re able to imagine what the event looked like, whether that’s showing what 100,000 people look like during a protest, or the face of an artist. During my journey through photography over the last year, I’ve been able to expand my knowledge on what makes a good photo, how to track people down and how to manage unexpected obstacles. Football/Sports Photography My personal favorite event to photograph for the last two years has been football. The fall sports season is packed with events having football easily be the most popular event on a Friday evening which makes it an important event to capture. If someone misses one game they feel like they missed out; this is where my job

Frankie Lopez Profile By: Alexander Rozas When you picture a star soccer player’s life, you might imagine them attractive, popular and smart. However, soccer star Francisco Lopez was depressed, bullied and during his professional career was riddled with sports anxiety. Now he helps kids who are going through the same mental problems he did. Lopez remembers that the peak of his soccer career was in his senior year of high school where McMinnville High School made the finals. “Before that, not many people came to the games, but during the finals over 4,000 people came to support the team,” said Lopez. The game ended with McMinnville beating the powerhouse Jesuit 8-7 in a penalty shootout. It was a dream come true. “Winning the State Championship was the best feeling of my life and I haven’t been able to replicate that feeling or experience,” said Lopez. “It really brought the community together.” Lopez ended up bringing the trophy home with him and slept with
