WYNC Teen Radio Show Releases Audio Journalism Curriculum

Radio Rookies, a Peabody Award-winning show created by teens for teens on WYNC public radio, has released a new curriculum for teachers looking to teach audio journalists. The Common Core-aligned curriculum includes lessons on recording audio (from hardware to mobile app recommendations) and journalism basics (interview tips, narrative techniques, etc.).

A New York Public Radio initiative, Radio Rookies holds workshops for students across New York, predominantly in under-resourced neighborhoods, who are interested in radio journalism. Radio Rookies offers additional free resources for educators and a DIY toolkit of learning resources (video tutorials, tip sheets and handouts) to empower students to create their own stories.  

The curriculum is available on the WYNC site (e-mail required).

The proposed legislation, known as the "California Digital Content Provenance Standards" (AB 3211), aims to ensure transparency in digital media by identifying content created through artificial intelligence. This requirement would apply to a broad range of AI-generated material, from harmless memes to deepfakes that could be used to spread misinformation about political candidates.
