This talk will explore how to use story structures, sound design and conversation in science reporting. We will address audience and story telling problems that are unique to the context of science reporting. Together, we will consider some simple design elements for engaging people and explaining complex ideas, think about how to apply those elements to pieces you are working on, and discuss the constraints and advantages of different story and news formats.
