April 1-4, 2009  
I  Portland, OR

Youth Media Workshops
Stan Bindell of the Hopi High Radio Journalism Project has organized two days of great workshops for high school students who are radio producers.  NFCB received no funding to support this work so all youth and adult leaders will have to pay full Community Radio Conference registration fees.

THURSDAY, APRIL 2

 

Youth Media: Icebreakers
Paul Quamahongnewa, Hopi High Radio Program, Keams Canyon, Arizona
Natasha Naha, Hopi High Radio Program, Keams Canyon, Arizona
The icebreakers will give students a chance to meet other radio students and learn a bit about them in fun ways.

9:00am - 10:00am

Youth Media: Interviewing
Paul Quamahongnewa, Hopi High Radio Program, Keams Canyon, Arizona
Natasha Naha, Hopi High Radio Program, Keams Canyon, Arizona
Hopi High has the only live remote Native American teen talk show in the nation and has won 18 awards in the past year from the Arizona Interscholastic Press Association.  Paul and Natasha will talk about how they conduct interviews.    The session will also provide one or two on site interviews that the other students can critique. There may be a working special "secret" Oregon guest as well.

10:00am - 10:15am

Youth Media: Friday Night on KBOO
Everyone is invited to create radio pieces and discuss the broadcast on Friday night on KBOO Community Radio. KBOO will also have production rooms reserved for creating new content: recording interviews, commentary, reviews, or editing during the conference. We will have volunteers to help you with unfamiliar equipment and editing programs, and to help with engineering and producing the radio show.  The show will air live on KBOO, 90.7fm, Friday April 3 from 6-8pm. All participants will get copies of the radio show.

10:30am - 12:00pm Youth Media: Trailblazing Radio or Leading Your Radio Group to Superstardom
Johanna (Jones) Franzel, Generation PRX, Cambridge, Massachusetts
Telling stories means taking risks—asking questions, revealing your creativity, and being honest and open about feedback.  In this workshop, we'll look at how to use these challenges to be a radio leader in the digital age.   First, we'll practice using PRX and especially the Audio Exchange Project to give feedback.  We'll workshop your stories and figure out how to promote your piece once it's done.  Next, we'll  look at how to be a leader in your own personal radio group—what do you do if you get feedback you disagree with?  How do you know someone is really listening?   How can you speak up even when you're uncomfortable?  In the end, you'll have tools for being a leader—and  telling better stories—online and in real life.  Participants are asked to bring CDs of their own work - either in progress, or recently completed.
1:30pm - 3:00pm Youth Media: Raising Funds for Trips and Equipment
June Fox, DEI, Great Falls, Virginia
Fundraising for youth radio programs can be challenging AND fun!
Whether you need to buy equipment or raise cash for training or travel, there are lots of options... both traditional and 'so not'. June will begin with the basics and then spend time brainstorming ideas for your next fundraising event(s).  You'll finish the session with your hands full of ideas, and the know-how to get them done.
3:30pm - 5:00pm Youth Media: Storytelling in Sound and Pictures
Youth Radio/Youth Media International, Oakland, California
This is a crash course in multi-media storytelling that offers training in field production (gathering narrative sound in the field and producing audio snapshots) and basic photography composition and storytelling through photos. Participants will combine audio and visual narrative and package it for the web (and publish it!) This is a great introduction to the art of producing “snapshots” for radio and web in line with the type of content leading journalism outlets such as the New York Times are producing to keep up with the multi-media landscape. It’s also an opportunity to explore and find interesting people and sounds in Portland, Oregon.  You’ll follow up all day tomorrow producing what you gathered.

FRIDAY, APRIL 3

9:00am - 5:00pm

Youth Media Workshop: Storytelling in Sound and Pictures
Youth Radio/Youth Media International, Oakland, California
Producing the material you gathered in the workshop yesterday.  This is an all-day workshop.
