Midterm Part 3 DUE Fri, Mar 1 by 5pm Pt 3 Podcast Treatment?. ?No more than ?one page Introduction Youve been asked by a producer at ?WNYC?, to pitch a podcast idea to them that will focus on New Yorks free Black communities. This is called a treatment or pitch. It is basically a poster/ one page that includes the following important ideas: ? What is the main content/ ideas about the history youre going to discuss? (this is where your summarizing skills are really important). ? Why do you think its important that people know about this topic? (avoid I think) ? Does the topic relate to modern day issues? If yes, what and how? ? Who is the audience for your podcast? ? And then end with a bio about yourself (write in 3rd person). Format ?(include the subheadings in bold within the document) 1. Document Header a. Your name and email address 2. Podcast Title at the Top of the Document a. This shouldnt be vague. b. A producer should be able to tell from the title what the topic is 3. Image a. Image should attract the reader to the topic b. Be relevant to the topic c. Should have one caption under the image explaining what the image is d. Explain where you got the image from (but dont use wikipedia) e.g. https://www.centralparknyc.org/events/parent-events/seneca-village-tour.html 4. Introduction ?200-300 words a. This is where you put the main content, ideas. It includes people, place, time. b. It also briefly describes and analyzes the primary source you have on your free Black community, which acts as evidence of the argument youre making. c. This is the longest section of the treatment about 200 – 300 words 5. Relevance ?100 words a. This is where you answer why you think its important people know about this topic b. And explain if and how the history youre discussing relates to modern day issues 6. Audience ?100 words a. Who is the audience for your podcast? Try and be as specific as possible. 7. Bio ?50 words a. Include your professional bio, this should explain to the producer why you are qualified to talk about this topic. b. Write in third person, do not use I (first person) c. Make sure you include your professional/ academic background. While its interesting that you like baseball, this might not seem very relevant to a radio producer asking you to pitch them an idea about New Yorks historic free Black communities.
