Description:
Worldyouth Media is a youth media and media training network in Washington DC.
We empower DC youth by giving them the tools to have a voice in the media and in society.
Why watch the news when you can be the news?
Young people are sources of information and news. Living in the nation's capital, their voices should be heard in their communities, on Capitol Hill, and around the world.
Worldyouth Media aims to inspire and educate young people in the city to express themselves, become communicators, and change their realities.
News writing, personal essays, poetry and the
spoken word are ways we communicate. It's about being visible to yourself, then becoming visible to your allies, and then the world.
Worldyouth Media connects teens with media mentors. Media mentors are part of the advisory board of professional radio and print journalists
By working with emerging youth media projects in DC, like youth show 2k Nation on 89.3 FM and dc.takingitglobal.org participants are introduced to broadcast, print, and web journalism.
The project has included students from Duke Ellington HS, Hine Jr. HS, Banneker HS, and Anacostia HS.
Worldyouth Media launched with its first training Saturday, July 13 at the Josephine Butler Center. PSAs ran about the training all week on 89.3 FM WPFW. More than a dozen people from the DC
metropolitan area called for more information.
We did outreach to youth organizations and individuals in the two weeks leading into July
13th. Participants learned how to write a news story and record it for radio.
