KBIA Story Blog Entry
I listened to “Missouri Senate Approves Vaporizer Ban”. The story contained good factual reporting but lacked a few crucial characteristics that make good radio stories. First of all it lacked natural sound. The reporter was explaining new legislation that went into place, but she may have been able to go to a local bar or restaurant, if she wasn’t old enough to get into a bar, and get sounds of the bartender and local patrons. The next thing that bothered me about the story was that the reporter took too long to get to the sound bite. I felt like she took more time than necessary trying to introduce the clip to the audience when in essence she could have said a lot less to preface the quote.
