Checklist for an armed robber
Full text linkResearch Background - While spatial audio was familiar in immersive sound art, its potential on the Internet was ignored for technical and conceptual reasons. There was a need for an experimental artwork to demonstrate this potential. Further there was a need for effective and engaging cross-media projects, within major institutions such as the ABC. In relation to radio, there was a need to investigate how cross-media broadcast events and enhanced audience involvement could expand the reach and potential of radio drama, which was suffering from dwindling audiences. Research Question - Checklist for an Armed Robber comprised a two-part radio play and an associated online Internet site. The site reworked both the audio and its ideas in a visual-audio form. The project investigated effective and engaging dimensions in cross-media (radio and Internet) drama. It explored how spatial audio could specifically configure a dramatic space on the Internet. Checklist demonstrated possibilities to develop the same project both for Internet and radio in ways that challenged current practices of audio on each. It contributed to changing and expanding the constituencies and practices of audiences of each, through experience of cross-platform cross-pollination. The project looked to a future where radio broadcast could interweave with the Internet to enable the radio and Internet works to complicate and enhance each other. Research Significance - The significance of this research is the innovative use of spatial audio in an Internet work and the development of cross-media drama for radio and Internet. Its value is attested by the funding from ABC (Australian Broadcasting Commission) Radio and ABC New Media as well as UTS. This (first time) collaboration between ABC Radio and New Media was one of the bases for the formation of its highly acclaimed Pool site, and the UTS researchers were invited to play a key role in this as a result of this work

Cetaceans vs Bush
Full text linkCetaceans Vs Bush http://www.abc.net.au/rn/radioeye/stories/2006/1748854.htm Produced by Eurydice Aroney and Kirsty Lee Background A radio documentary produced for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (Aroney, Lee, 2005). This work involved the research and retrieval of underwater audio recordings from specialized scientific and military sites and the sourcing and broadcast of a recorded court hearing in the U.S - a lawsuit taken against the U.S President by a group of cetaceans arguing that low frequency sonar was damaging their acoustic underwater environment. Interviews with the lawyer defending the cetaceans took place over two years. The producers' goal was to combine factual reporting with creative narrative techniques as a way of re-invigorating environmental reporting. Contribution The explosion of online audio databases has expanded opportunities for radio journalists to radically re-think their approach to production and research material. This documentary embraced the online audio database in an attempt to explore new sources for in depth news reporting. Using creative techniques - both technical and editorial- listeners were asked to experience the acoustic world of cetaceans through identification with the narrator, a fictional 'whale' played by an indigenous Australian. Significance Digital delivery platforms and online databases for journalism necessarily affect the medium and format of journalistic research and production. Audiences expect new formats that engage and embrace technological change and creative innovative practice. Although this work took risks in the way it combined news and narrative techniques it was awarded a Silver World Medal in the New York Radio Festival (2006) in the environmental reporting category. This category includes scientific and environmental journalism of a high standard from across the world
