Finding, coaching and training public media's next generation.
Next Generation Radio is a 5-day, audio-focused, digital journalism project. Our hybrid (some people in-person, some not) program is designed to give competitively selected participants the opportunity to learn how to report and produce a non-narrated audio piece and a companion multimedia story. Those chosen for the program are paired with a professional journalist, who serves as their mentor for the week, and the chosen participant is paid a stipend for their work.
“The connections I have made through the NextGen program have far outlasted the week I spent learning. You’re joining a community that will look out for you, support you and bring you up in an industry that desperately needs us.”
