The Next Generation Radio project is a full-scale, digital-first multimedia training project with emphasis on \u201cradio storytelling.\u201d We are committed to the professional development of undergraduate and graduate students who are focused on journalism. The program is a series of week-long student training projects, designed to give students who are interested in radio and journalism the skills and opportunity to report and produce their own radio story. If you are interested in working with the program, inquire through @NextGenRadio<\/a>.
