Public Radio Nerds: A Tour to WLRN
March 19, Miami, FL- As a student of Communications and Mass Media of United International College, I must say that every time, I am more convinced of how fascinating this career is. On March 19, my Speaking on Radio class had the opportunity to take a tour of WLRN Channel 17 studios in down town Miami.
As soon as we arrived, we met Mrs. Adrienne Kennedy, Executive Producer of WLRN Public Radio and Television, who welcomed us and hosted our amazing two and a half hour tour. First of all, she explained to us how the radio works, along with the building for radio and television production were designed. Then we went to the area of control rooms and studios where programs such as Sunshine Economy are recorded.
Then, we met Ms. Pilar Uribe, who is a renowned Colombian actress. Uribe, aside from being a television artist, is also a talented voiceover actress in both Spanish and English for WLRN. She kindly explained how she is successful in both worlds.
Afterwards, we went to the Newsroom where we met Ms. Alejandra Martinez, who is the associate producer of Sundial, she told us her responsibilities such as interviewing, producing and publishing her stories on WLRN. Finally, we visited the television area where the studios dazzled my classmates and me. It was an enriching tour that motivated me to continue studying more about this wonderful and exciting media field.
