As you may know, Radio Boise is now on the air. As part of its commitment to providing public affairs programming, our community radio station will be holding classes for “citizen journalists” at locations around Boise in the coming months. The intent is to give people enough information about newsgathering and radio production in a few hours that they can go out into their neighborhoods, campuses, classrooms, offices, etc., and create news stories to be broadcast on Radio Boise 89.9FM.
The first citizen journalist training will be held on Saturday, March 10, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the building at 1520 N. 12th, Hyde Park. Please let your community members, co-workers, students, friends, clients, constituents, group, business associates and/or neighbors know. It’s free, and everyone is encouraged to bring ideas for stories they’d like to cover. News teams will be formed that very day!
More information is available at http://radioboise.org/newsexperience and on Facebook at KRBX News Experience 1. There’s a survey to complete before coming that would help us know what people are interested in, too. Please spread the word!
