Voices for the voiceless: Young Latinos are speaking out on air – Radio Arte in Pilsen, Chicago
Tagged: Chicago, Illinois, Pilsen, radio
A group of Chicago Hispanic teenagers say they are tired of how underrepresented their community is in mainstream media. They have turned their frustration into action and are now vocal journalists on a mission to provide a voice for the underrepresented.
These youth, or “producers” as they are called at work, get their voices heard on the radio for an hour every Monday through Thursday evening. They are volunteer journalists at Radio Arte, 90.5 FM, a nonprofit Latino public radio station based in Pilsen. The 10-year-old station has made a place for teen producers since it was founded.”*
