In ye olden days, AP or UPI newswire teletypes would spit out a constant stream of paper in newsrooms. Editors or reporters would have to periodically use rulers to tear apart the continuous spool of paper into individual stories. These stories would be sorted into baskets or hooks on the wall. This was called "stripping the wire". In the same way, this blog will attempt to sort through relevant content on the internet to identify and "strip out" items of interest for my students.

It's incredible how much Natural sound adds to a story! When comparing the two stories I felt more involved in the first one. It was more of a real story and I felt like I was there witnessing and hearing the actual sounds as it happened. Without the Natural sound it doesnt feel as real. It's nice to see the two compared and understand how important nat sound can be in a story!
Natural sound is more important than you realize in reporting stories. It is crucial in video and in audio reporting because it makes you feel as if you are there. If you can hear the sounds around you and really understand the story from that level, natural sound adds so much to that than you get without it.
when reading a story one can visualize in their head what's going on, but if natural sound was to be added then it gives the story life and color and the story turns out to be ten times better! the 1st was better it kept me engaged in the story more than the other one did.
Yes nat sound can add to a story but it is sometimes distracting. Let's say there is a constant loud drone from a machine that is being used at the scene of the story. This could be distracting to the story. I think nat sound is usually a great thing but not always.
