2022 Youth Reporting Institute /2022-youth-reporting-institute This summer we continued to adapt to the new normal by running our summer radio institute in a hybrid format. With the American Tobacco Studios as our home base students had the opportunity to work within our newsroom, and from home. Using in-person training, Zoom calls, Instagram, and our curriculum website, we took youth reporters through the process of producing a radio story - from pitching to interviews to script-writing and editing. We worked with 8 high school and college students ages 16-20 from across the Triangle and Triad area. en-US Copyright Mon, 04 Dec 2023 18:29:00 GMT Headed to Honduras: Connecting with my family and culture as a second-generation American /wunc-youth-reporting-institute/2023-12-04/honduras-family-culture-second-generation-american-diaz 瓜神app Youth Reporter Donna Diaz is a second-generation Honduran American.
