Finding, coaching and training public media's next generation.
The Next Generation Radio Project is a 5-day digital journalism and audio training project. Our distance learning program is designed to give competitively selected participants the opportunity to learn how to report, remotely, and produce their own non-narrated audio piece and multimedia story. Those chosen for the project are paired with a professional journalist who serves as their mentor for the week.
“The NextGen program was definitely the most meaningful part of my college career. There’s no doubt in my mind that week made me a better journalist and storyteller. Also, the program connected me to people who love radio as much as I do. I can’t begin to describe how validating that is and how much confidence it gives me moving forward.”
