Finding, coaching and training journalism's next generation.
Note: Same Next Gen Radio program, now with a different name.
Next Gen Journalism is a 5.5-day, audio-focused, digital journalism project. Our hybrid (some people in person, some not) program is designed to enable competitively selected participants to learn to report and produce a non-narrated audio piece while simultaneously creating accompanying multimedia content. Those chosen for the program are paired 1:1 with a professional journalist, who serves as their mentor for the week. Selected reporters are paid a stipend for the week.
“NextGenRadio opened my eyes to the world of audio through learning technical skills and through the thrill of working in a professional environment. I entered the week-long program with excitement and left with knowledge that I will keep with me for a lifetime.”
