KIND WORDS
"Liz has both the vision to recognize a promising story, and the know-how to guide a reporter through its development into compelling narrative journalism. I still draw on the many lessons I learned from her editing."
Lisa Philip, higher education reporter @ wbez - chicago
“I took Liz’s Audio Journalism class at UNC. It was one of my favorite classes that I’ve taken. Liz provided constructive feedback with a quick turnaround time and facilitated critiquing sessions in class. Her teaching inspired me to start a podcast outside of class and she went above and beyond by editing my outline.”
Brooke Bauman, Creator, Guilty Plastics Podcast
“Liz is exceptionally skilled at communicating digital frameworks to non- and less-digitally focused journalists and audio creators. She’s tops at transforming complex data and concepts into ‘lay speak’. Top text editing skills are part of her complete package of digital-focused results.”
Keith Weston, retired webmaster @ WUNC
“What has impressed me most about Liz is her willingness and ability to learn new skills and platforms for storytelling. When she became interested in radio, she taught herself new skills and landed a fellowship that led to a new and fruitful stage in her career. She has never, and will never, stop learning.”
Markia Lynch, Communications Consultant
“Liz's class was foundational to my audio journalism experience. I learned practical skills that I now use every day at work. Liz is also generous with her time. She's quick to offer valuable advice – especially about pitching, reporting, and story structure. It's a great class if you want to learn the essentials for working in a public radio newsroom.”
Emma Peaslee, NPR Kroc Fellow (2020)

Jean-Paul Renaud, former Executive Director of Communications, UCLA College
“I had the pleasure of working directly with [Liz] while we were both at The Miami Herald...As her experience grew, her talent blossomed even more. She paid attention to detail, and had a knack for getting people to talk to her. She was curious about everything...Her radio career justifies something that I said long ago: "I believe Liz Baier can do anything!" She truly can.”
