Five rising journalists join host Charity Nebbe on this episode of Talk of Iowa to discuss their participation in NPR's NextGenRadio. They spent a week creating a non-narrated audio piece and multi-media story that focuses on the meaning of home.
The participants interviewed a Ukranian teenager studying at an Iowa college, a DACA recipient with an uncertain future, an LGBTQ activist and community organizer, a Sudanese immigrant navigating two cultures and seeking safety for his children and a young mother trying to provide her child with a more stable home than the one she grew up in.
Guests:
- Natalie Dunlap, former IPR intern, rising senior studying journalism and mass communication, University of Iowa
- Colson Thayer, rising sophomore studying multimedia journalism, Drake University
- Hunter Vasey, 2023 journalism graduate, Buena Vista University
- Lucia Cheng, Des Moines-based freelancer, 2023 graduate of Grinnell College
- Tristan Alcorta, 2023 graduate in journalism, rhetoric media and social change, Drake University
