News on the Radio

I listened to the Neuticles story a second time and really appreciated the effort that went into the writing and composition of that piece. I've always respected journalists who are able to bring the story home to the listener/reader without the use of pictures. It's truly an art and I think much more difficult than television and visual news. Combining the spoken word with ambient sound and layman writing is a very powerful way to present the news, and it is a medium I think will last for a long time. NPR and similar organizations do a great job, and I think all journalists can learn a lot they can apply to their own medium by listening to radio news on a regular basis.
