The Making of ‘The Green Compass’
Rising college freshmen from The Heinz Endowments Youth Philanthropy Summer Internship Program discuss the nine radio documentaries they produced in July at the SLB studios.
The Green Compass Season 4
Exploring the road to a better Pittsburgh. Where we are and where we are going…
In July 2012, twenty-three students about to enter their first year of college created these nine radio features as Youth Philanthropy Summer Interns at The Heinz Endowments. Because the Summer 2012 internship program focused on issues of sustainability, the resulting features cover a range of community, social and environmental issues. While SLB provided training and coaching, the features presented here were conceived and created entirely by the students in a single week.
Radio Camp 2012 – Day 11 – Work Hard, Have Fun, Be Nice
Today, we took a look at some of our blog posts that we missed. We did some writing and recording today, reflecting on KWHB’s tag line of “Work Hard, Have Fun, Be Nice”, which also happens to be the three rules at Camp King. Some of us finished early and practiced for next Tuesday’s talent show! At recess, we watched a live performance of Squonk Opera right on our playground!
Radio Camp 2012 – Day 10 – It’s all about the FUN!
Who said having a case of the Mondays was a bad thing??? We love Mondays! We were so excited to see all of our campers after the weekend! We wanted to refresh our memories of using a microphone, so we wrote in our Reporter’s Notebooks and recorded (using proper microphone technique) something fun we did over the weekend and/or some ways that we think we are silly. We heard some fun stories from weekend plans, and learned some pretty silly things about our campers! Thank you for sharing your good times!
Radio Camp 2012 – Day 9 – What I’ve Learned So Far
Whew, what a crazy Friday! We had the Spirit class in the afternoon – congrats to our B-block on winning the Spirit stick for the day! Both of our classes have now been honored by the Spirit Man (who may or may not be a Radio Camp teacher…)
We went to the SLB studios and wrote a few things we’ve learned in Radio Camp in our notebooks. Then, some of us got to record our reflections. We got to see editing in action as Miss May clipped out our “um”s and extra spaces and made us sound like professional radio personalities!
