I think “cleaning it up” is ok to an extent. Like you said taking out the “uhs and ums” it okay, but not completly taking sentences out. One sentence could change the entire meaning or a point that is trying to be made…

I like that radio cleans up interviews and stuff like that. And I agree that editing is good only when it does not take from the original meaing.

Learning about all of the editing done for radio makes me wonder how many takes of a news broadcast anchors on TV have to do, since visual editing is much more conspicuous.

I couldnt agree more….i can only see editing as being okay when the editing does not affect the meaning of what the person was saying and is only used so that it sounds cleaner and like john said makes them sound more credible. When editing is used to alter the message or produce something other than what was orginally intended that is when editing is not okay.

I also agree that as long as the meaning does not get changed, I do not see any problem with editing anything out. I really don’t not want to here Uh or Um over and over.

I didn’t realized that the radio broadcasts were edited this much either. I think it helps though.
