Photo by M. Rechner By Areonia Steward On Thursday March 07, Crystal Ligori came to teach the Mass Communications class of Lincoln High School about the primary steps to podcasting. With her substantial knowledge of creating podcasts, she began to show us how to create our own. Ligori introduced the topic to us by showing us how to access the Audition on our own computers allowing us to grab pieces of audio and background music for the podcast. We also gather with our two groups to discuss our own topics for the podcast. We also recorded an intro and outro. Ligori works for OPB (Oregon Public Broadcasting) to make a daily radio program, "All things considered" with her partner. She attended University of Montana and got her degree in broadcasting journalism. Right before moving to Portland Ligori worked for a music station in Spokane, Washington. Recently she reported about measles outbreak in Washington State and the issues on the vaccine. She has worked for a ...

By Anna Loy I am writing about a Vice video where a reporter, Alzo Slade, decided to go to the southern border in New Mexico to see if Trump’s claims of violence at the border were true. He drove to the boot heel of New Mexico, which is considered particularly dangerous. While there, he talked to multiple people. He asked people questions about illegal immigrant activity around the border, getting different opinions on whether or not the border needs more protection. Slade then camps out next to the border and spends the night, uninterrupted by any immigrants, refuting President Trump's claim that immigrant harass people near our border. I really liked this video because it was so obvious and upfront. Trump often talks about the  dangerous border, and I never believe his claims, but I never  thought about what it is actually like at our border. I enjoyed the videos shots of the border and the landscape around it. Those shots changed how I picture the U.S southern borders....

By Anna Loy At PDX Media Day on Friday, March 8th, Andrew Devigal talked to me and other students interested in journalism. He led a group discussion about making podcasts. Not only did Devigal teach us the basics of making a podcast, he also encouraged us to think about why we want to make podcasts. Devigal is very experienced when it comes to journalism. He specializes in multimedia, having been the multimedia editor at the New York Times, arguably our nation’s leading newspaper. While working there, Devigal won an Emmy for Outstanding New Approaches: Documentary. Now, he works at University of Oregon. There, he teaches classes at the School of Journalism and runs a podcast on campus. I found Devigal’s experience to make him very knowledgeable, showing us how to make podcasts while keeping them fresh and innovative. "Podcast Radio Microphone" by Tumisu is licensed under CC BY 2.0

Photo of Mass Communication students by M. Rechner By Ana Narayan Crystal Ligori, a producer and newscaster for “All Things Considered” and the “Literary Arts: The Archive Project” radio program, visited Lincoln High School to facilitate learning about podcasts for students in their Mass Communication classes. Ligori shared her experience and journey in the journalism field and gave students advice on how to navigate the journalism business. Later on, she worked hands on with students to teach them on the whole process of podcasting. According to OPB TV, Ligori received her degree from University of Montana in Broadcast Journalism. She also earned a Society of Professional Journalists award as well as a Hearst Journalism Award. Before all this, Crystal was employed in a rock station KUFO in Portland. On behalf of all of the students from Mass Communications, we want to thank Crystal for the assistance and guidance that she showed throughout the cla...

Posting ice eating ASMR on social media was a famous trend going on in China, year 2018. People watched these listening for the crisp crunchy sound that only came from chewing on ice. This type of video was new for everyone because it was like no ASMR video made in the past.  I enjoyed watching this video because it was a new type of video that I had never seen before. The shapes of the ice were really creative and new to me. Every small clip within the overall video had different shapes and colors of ice that made me want to continue watching. I personally didn’t think this video was satisfying, but it was entertaining to watch these people eating that cold ice just for the video. It did seem a little unreasonable and pointless to me, but it was definitely something that was intrigui...

Photo by M. Rechner By Jaden Schiffhauer For a couple of classes every year, the Lincoln High School introductory mass communications class is visited by Crystal Ligori, an accomplished voice actor and newscaster. We were taught how to create and edit audio for the purpose of creating podcasts together. Ligori spent some time informing the class of her experiences in her career. We listened to her radio Thanksgiving commercials and she told us how she first got started in her main field of public broadcasting. Being able to learn about the interview process for radio was very interesting, and the fact that she was persistent in finding a job there proved to us the power of determination. After the introduction, she taught how to edit our voices and make podcasts. We learned how to add sound to our voices, even our volume, and cut out things people wouldn’t want to hear to streamline the audio. I very much enjoyed being able to learn from Ligori, as her lectures and hands-...

The Old Town sign courtesy of Wikimedia commons By Mak Johnson PDX Media Day was at the White Stag Building, hosted by Northwest Scholastic Press and the University of Oregon. PDX Media Day is a convention of sorts where mass communications classes from around PPS come to listen to professionals in the field. There were 4 sessions of speakers held throughout the day, between 10:00 and 1:50. I went to go see Molly Harbarger in her presentation “Asking the right questions,” Melissa Toledo in her presentation “Taking Better Photos, and finally Jessica Young for “10 Basic guidelines for good photography.” The reason I went to three sessions and not four, was because I got the tour of the White Stag sign on the roof. Harbarger is an Oregonian journalist. In her session she explored different interviewing techniques, how to ask follow-up questions, and how to be a confident interviewer by putting on her “lizard suit,” which was her way of stepping into a different persona for in...

https://bit.ly/2UOTfCi By Sarah Happel On March 5 and March 7, Crystal Ligori took time out of her day to visit our mass communications class in room 122. She taught us about the various parts and types of podcasts, as well as how to record and edit podcasts of our own. Our class was split into two groups, and each group recorded and finalized a podcast while Ligori guided us through the process. According to an article on OPB, Ligori, a freelance voiceover artist, produces the podcasts “All Things Considered,” which she also narrates, and “Literary Arts: The Archive Project.” She has received the Society for Professional Journalists award and the Hearst Journalism award, both while she was attending the University of Montana working towards Broadcast Journalism degree. Ligori was also a part of KUFO, KZZU, and KBGA before making her way to OPB. Before her talk, I knew next to nothing about podcasting. However, her talk sparked an interest. I learned that a podcast isn’t on...

By Jade Gorlach Bright and early, On March 1, our Mass Communications class walked down to the waterfront to visit the Oregonian building. There we were given a guided tour by the Oregonian/Oregon Live’s brand new education reporter, Eder Campuzano. He showed us around the working space of the Oregonian staff. Throughout the trip, we saw many reporters scattered around desks, but not as many as we expected. They were casually lounging around, like at home, but very invested in their work. The setting seemed to be very comfortable for them, making it easier to feel welcomed for us. Eder was very welcoming too, and made sure to let us ask questions about any of our concerns. He also continued to tell us many exciting reporter stories about his experiences on the Oregonian. This gave me a better feel of how a job as a reporter would be like. Intense, but fun and always keeping you on your toes. Eder's story about him falling in love with journalism in high school inspired me to ...
