Didn't I tell y'all that journalism will find a way to survive?
Case in point: YouthRadio.org
Here, young people -- tweens, teens and twenty-somethings -- are finding their voice and broadcasting it online.
They pitch stories to National Public Radio and sometimes they get on.
But honestly, isn't viral more vital for the future?
In it's recently released The State of the News Media annual report on American Journalism, the Pew Project for Excellence in Journalism calls audio "well suited to the digital transition."
Covering stories that I don't think anyone but they could cover correctly -- from police shootings in Oakland, to black market junk food at schools with healthy food policies -- the youth are speaking.
Thank God.
