Season 2 has launched for Turn It Up: Teen Radio! The first show released October 2013 focused on the theme of "Antibullying" in recognition of Antibullying Month. Teens created their own segments, music and conducted interviews with former professional athlete and youth football coach, Curtis Walls, and Sara Neuman, founder of the Cyberbullying organization *CooL*.
This program incorporates literacy and public speaking into a curriculum that exposes teens to the industry of Journalism and Radio Broadcast. Teens are mentored by industry professionals and challenged every month to create and produce their very own radio show. The program is in partnership with Charlotte Mecklenburg Library and Carolina’s School of Broadcasting.Find out how to get involved with the program, see behind the scenes and more here.
