Bronwyn Mauldin, LA Indymedia collective member and host of “Indymedia on Air” on KPFK FM, did a hands-on audio recording and editing training with the assistance of collective member Sasha Costanza-Chock. Sasha had also arranged for the use of the luxurious space, which afforded us the use of an 18 computer laboratory. Bronwyn spoke about various types of recording devices to collect sound, and explained the how-tos of transferring recorded media into a usable radio piece in a very clear and organized fashion.

Frank Stoltze, former KPFK News Director who currently reports for KPCC News in Los Angeles, followed with an informative lecture on the nuts-n-bolts of street reporting and interviewing for radio. Frank generously shared his knowledge in all aspects of interviewing covering everything from how to get the interview process to flow, to how to handle the microphone.

The purpose of the workshop was to train more independent reporters, and to encourage more people to get involved with the creation of media from the bottom up. Hopefully people who took part in the workshop will be encouraged to actively participate with the LA Indymedia collective.

LA Indymedia wants to thank the Institute for Multimedia Literacy for allowing us to use this wonderful space. Having the use of the 18 computer lab allowed us to do the largest hands-on training that we have done to date.
