Minnesota Public Radio

Over a week in late June, MPR News held Radio Camp, where campers explored the jobs behind the scenes at the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts in St. Paul. Radio Campers learned to prepare for and conduct one-on-one interviews. They recorded the interviews themselves, selected quotes and wrote scripts. They then recorded narration and produced the pieces. It’s the same general process used by MPR News radio reporters. Radio Camp is held at MPR, with leadership and mentors coming mostly from the news department. Partners ThreeSixty Journalism, KRSM Radio and MIGIZI filled the crucial role of recruiting and selecting the students. You can read about each camper and listen to their news pieces here: https://lnkd.in/gE6YqYd4
