Next Meeting: Sunday, Sept. 18, 1-3pm at the Worldyouth Media
Office. Please come and get involved with the youth radio program
project! Call (202) 299-1055 or email info@worldyouth.org for more
information.
Please sign-onto http://dc.takingitglobal.org and promote your group,
interests and projects on-line! Connect with DC area youth and over
7000 youth and adult allies in 180 countries!
Attending were seven youth (ages 15-21 from Wilson, South Lakes, Duke
Ellington, Cesar Chavez SHS's and the Hispanic Radio Network) and one
older adult. Several other youth expressed interest in attending
future meetings but couldn't make it this week.
The meeting consisted of introductions, accomplishments of Worldyouth
Media over the summer, and then brainstorming how a youth-run radio
show could be developed. We focused on an hour-long weekly live radio
show, but other ideas included producing pre-recorded segments for
national distribution. We had originally planned to also do public
relations and media spokes-person's training, but the radio program
discussion was so productive that we decided to focus on it for the
next several weeks, with the idea of being ready to go on-air in
September.
The following are some of the ideas that we developed for a weekly
youth-run radio program.
The program will be open to all teens in the DC area. It will not be
tied to any one school or academic program. Community service hours
should be awarded.
Role of adults:
There will be at least one adult per production area plus trainers as
part of the advisory board.
Adults will act as advisors and not moderators nor decision-makers in
discussions or meetings.
Production Schedule:
We will always be working two weeks ahead to allow time for research,
outreach and other preparations.
We will use circular pie-chart/clock to divide up time/tasks (for
example: 5mins for opening and credits, 10 minutes news, 3 minutes
song, 13 minutes panel, 3 minutes song, 3 minutes announcement, 1
minute word from the streets, 15 minutes call-ins, etc). This can be
put up next to a clock during the show.
We will create an archive of our resources, contacts and shows that
will be available on-line.
We are working to create an on-line national youth news-wire service.
On Air
Two hosts per show: one panel host and one technical host
Host list rotates with each host providing training to next hosts
One guest panelist per show
Two team panelists who volunteer to research issues and information.
Organization:
Five Producers, elected per semester/summer (staggered terms so there
is always overlap). Ideally, these positions will eventually become
paid part-time jobs. Producers will be in charge of facilitating
project teams of volunteers. Core group of people involved sharing
tasks – start with weekly meetings, move to twice weekly when on-air.
Everyone will rotate teams to experience all aspects of radio
production. Everyone will be encouraged to participate on on-going
media workshops and trainings with DC area youth groups.

responsibilities:
