  • SPECIAL: Showcasing work from our Summer News Fellows
    Jul 22 2024

    Last month, our Summer News Collaborative kicked off. The pilot project from WORT is intended to train people the basics of journalism, storytelling, and audio production. In a rare move for community radio, it also aims to give people a paycheck to learn these skills.

    Our first cohort of Fellows are Shy Aikens, César Gonzalez Paz, Jeliel Peña de First, Faleshuh Walker, and Ze Yang. Today, we take the first listen to audio pieces they've been working on over the last month, in a news special hosted by WORT producer and journalist Jade Iseri-Ramos, who is managing the program.

    We also hear the first episode from a regular voice: Marcus Slaton, Thursday co-host of the 6pm Local News, who's launching a podcast full of good news.
