DEADLINE: NPR-IJA NextGenRadio — Indigenous Workshop

The NPR Next Generation Radio Project and the Indigenous Journalists Association announce a second Fall 2023 NextGenRadio Indigenous workshop in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Nov. 13-17.

NextGenRadio: Indigenous spent a week in Tulsa, Okla. during the first week of October. For the first time, IJA and NPR are partnering to offer a second Fall program. Applications for the Albuquerque workshop are due by midnight MT, Wednesday, Oct. 15.

This project is open to early-career professionals and is designed to enhance coverage of Indigenous affairs with Indigenous voices.

Selected project participants will find and produce their own multimedia story, and will be paired 1:1 with an experienced coach and mentor throughout the workshop. Fellows will produce a 3:30 to 4-minute, non-narrated audio story, write a 500-600 word story about their subject and create other digital assets.

Selected participants will receive a $500 stipend for their time and work.
