RadioActive Youth Media

A heartbreaking day here at KUOW. kuow.org/stories/kuow-l…

Other RadioActive alumni include @NoelGasca and @JuliaFurukawa, along with many more talented people in newsrooms across the country. It was also a chance for people who didn’t ultimately land in journalism to sharpen their storytelling skills. This is an enormous loss.

kuow.org/stories/kuow-l… This is devastating news. @kuowradioactive is the reason I'm in public radio today. Thank you for everything. Sending love from NH.

The end of RadioActive breaks my heart. I always say if the program didn't take a chance on me, I'm not sure if I would have even considered journalism. 💔 kuow.org/stories/kuow-l…

It's a very sad day at KUOW and for the future of journalism. @kuowradioactive is one of the main reasons why I chose to pursue a career in public radio. kuow.org/stories/kuow-l…
