I am finding more and more people tell me there is no future for journalism. My philosophy is that although newspapers may be on the downfall, the need for good, news reporting journalists, isn't. As I continue my journey of learning all there is about journalism and technology, I will post here.

Podcasting

Next semester I am taking podcast journalism. Honestly, I have absolutely no idea what exactly "podcasting" is or how to even begin doing it. I googled podcasting basics and this is what I came up with. Pretty good information on this site. About.com, although may not be the most trust worthy source, usually has some good stuff.
So, the second half of next semester, I am supposed to come up with 4 episodes of a podcast, that means I have about 2 months to learn all I can about creating, interviewing, and editing audio. Should be quite the experience.
In relation to journalism, I think podcasting proves to be yet another medium of story telling. Again, like video, it adds a more conversational feel. I remember first hearing the term podcast from itunes, when I got a new ipod and in the menu bar there was a category for podcasts. I have never subscribed to any podcasts, but I am definitely going to start exploring it. Any suggestions?
