A group of Wake Forest students are contributing to 88.5 FM WFDD’s election coverage this year. They are part of a new class taught by reporter Paul Garber that teaches the fundamentals of radio journalism for the NPR-affiliated station. The students were given a chance to select a pivotal local race to preview for WFDD’s public radio listeners.

 

Below are two stories that aired during the station’s “Morning Edition” and “All Things Considered” broadcasts. Jordan Allbrooks previewed the NC 13th Congressional District race, and Melissa Cooney reported on the campaign for Winston-Salem’s mayoral seat.
