Since 2001, Radio Rootz
is a youth media-training program thatfocuses on skill
building in radio production, media literacy, and mediaactivism. Radio Rootz
is a partnership between New York City public schools, community organizing
groups, and Pacifica community radio (which includes WBAI 99.5 FM) We help
young and marginalized New Yorkers to find their voice and make it heard.Radio Rootz
recognizes the importance of giving young folks thepolitical background
to understand issues of representation, public policyand the big money
interests behind both, while making available the tools so young people can
respond, react and create their own media. Afterlearning basic media
literacy and media making skills, the project hopesparticipants will be
encouraged to become both journalists and media organizers to sculpt the power
of the media in their favor.for more info go to
