NAJA-NPR NextGenRadio: Indigenous Workshop

Description

NAJA-NPR NextGenRadio: Indigenous set April 16-21 at Syracuse University

Indigenous-centered workshop for early-career professionals hosted at Syracuse University

The Native American Journalists Association and NPR’s Next Generation Radio Project have set the fifth NextGenRadio: Indigenous, a five-day digital-first workshop centering Indigenous stories and storytellers for April 16-21. The project will be hosted by Syracuse University and applications are due by midnight ET, Wednesday, March 22.

This project is open to early-career professionals and is designed to enhance coverage of Indigenous affairs with Indigenous voices. 

Indigenous journalists with less than five years professional experience working in media, journalism, written and audio storytelling in addition to graphic design, illustration or data can apply here. The program is free to participants and past radio experience is preferred but not required.

Selected project participants will find and produce their own multimedia story, and will be paired 1:1 with an experienced coach and mentor throughout the workshop. Fellows will produce a 3:30- to 4-minute, non-narrated audio story, write a 500-600 word story about their subject and create other digital assets.

Selected participants will receive a $500 stipend for their time and work.
