What does this role entail:


Case Selection:

One of the most essential roles investigative reporters play at audiochuck involves case selection. In this process, the reporter finds and vets various cases within the scope of a specific show. Reporters do initial research and identify cases that align with advocacy goals, have sufficient coverage, and match the creative vision for the show.


Reporting Trips:

Once cases have been identified, reporters will then plan and execute field reporting trips. On these trips, they will conduct interviews, gather photos, and seek to establish a sound base upon which to build an episode or series.

Records Requests:

An important part of data gathering for reporters involves submitting record requests via local, state, and federal agencies. This often requires tenacity and significant follow-up but can yield incredible publicly available information.


Ancillary Fact-Finding:

Oftentimes, interviews and record requests alone cannot fill in the gaps of a case. When this happens, the reporter must source additional and relevant case information to bring a robust understanding of the case, and any specific dynamics at play, to the listener.


Post-Reporting Writing:

In this phase, the reporter is able to pull together all they have discovered to create a compelling and honest narrative about the selected case. When writing on behalf of a host, it is impairment to incorporate the hosts perspective and tone into the script in a seamless way. Incorporating dialogue and in-text citations is also key.


Final Script Edits & Composition:

After the initial script draft is completed, another audiochuck team member will review the script to ensure accuracy, clarity, and tone are aligned. After these edits are received, the investigative reporter must incorporate them into the script and do a final check for spelling, pronunciation, and citations.
