[youthradioleaders] GPRX Seeks Stories on Bullying

[Jones Franzel]

Dear youth radio makers, teachers, and fans,

Bullying isn’t a new story, but lately, it is all over the news.  From  
New Jersey to California – and everywhere in between – bullying has a  
powerful effect on the lives of young people.  And because bullying  
often takes place online, it can be both vicious…and hidden.  Still,  
while youth are often the targets and the actors in bullying, we  
rarely get to hear their perspectives in the media.

It's time to put the spotlight on bullying: We want to hear from YOU.

We're asking young producers to share their first-hand stories: Have  
you experienced bullying?  Been a bully? Have you ever witnessed it  
and stepped in? What does bullying mean when you grow up in an online  
culture where information is public, digital and live?  And what don’t  
we understand – but need to – about bullying?

Deadline is Friday, January 21, 2011.

If we’re able to build a strong pool of submissions, we will move  
forward with a station collaborator to create a radio special, hosted  
by a teen.  Groups whose pieces are chosen for inclusion will receive  
$100 in gratitude for their work.  Details attached.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Jones

p.s. We've been inspired by the work you all have contributed to our  
past collaborative specials.  Hear them!  Past show topics include  
education in America, immigration, parenting, black masculinity and  
the environment.
