Challenge bias. Change the media narrative. MPR News trains BIPOC youth to tell the stories of their lives and communities.
MPR
MPR News uses the power of storytelling to train diverse Minnesota youth tell the stories of their lives and communities. Students will get firsthand exposure to field recording, interviewing, writing stories and voicing their own scripts. The expectation is that youths will create an audio story by the time the week is over. The theme of the 2021 camp is youth interviewing youth to reveal youth experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic and social unrest.
