[youthradioleaders] Research & Action

[Jones Franzel]

Dear youth radio leaders,

I wanted to share two goodies with you - both come thanks to wise input and feedback from many of you:

- A few months ago I'd done some polling of youth radio leaders and producers to learn more about how groups think about distributing their work.  Thanks to many, many of you for thoughtful input and insight, I've compiled some of the findings in a PRX blog post: Getting Stories to New Ears: What Youth Radio Groups Are Thinking.

- One of the insights from that polling was that groups need tools for sharing audio in places where young people are more likely to hear it  (Facebook, blogs, websites etc.). Now, thanks to the launch of PRX 3.12, several of those tools are beginning to roll out.  Emily explains them here, but I wanted to especially point out the new sharing options for Facebook and Twitter.  For now, you can post 30-second previews (just click the FB logo next to the piece title), but stay tuned for more advanced options available soon.

Please drop a line with any questions, thoughts etc.  And thanks, as always, for all you do.

Your fan,

Jones
