February 20
A three-minute radio documentary takes a lot of work to create,
especially when you’re a high-school-age radio novice exploring
the conflicts in your life. That’s why students in WAMU’s
Youth Voices project celebrated the culmination of their work
and shared their finished stories at a festive listening party in
the WAMU offices on Fri., Feb. 20. Story topics included intense
rivalries between some African American and Latino students; role
models for young black men; and an overwhelming schedule of classes
and after school activities. Youth Voices began in spring 2003 to
teach D.C. students how to research a topic, conduct live interviews,
write radio scripts, and use editing software to produce polished
stories—some of which will air on WAMU during Morning Edition
the week of March 15.
