AUDIO PACKAGE ROLE
For this audio package, Mahira and I both went out to find vox pops for this story, Mahira recorded the audio whilst I had spoken to students and briefed them on the question based on the research. Mahira recorded the voiceover for the audio package and contacted Andrew Read for an interview. I exported and edited the audio, I also wrote a studio cue and came up with the headline for the news story.
