Mobile Studio

WNIJ and WNIU believe stories are gifts. And we want to help you share! Our mobile studio is built to help you facilitate conversation, and to capture and archive that important act.

How does it work?

We provide the mobile and self-contained recording studio on site, including trained professional and volunteer audio engineers, and trained interview facilitators.

Optionally, the WNIJ team can provide post production and archives.
